Taking Initiative!
 |
Dear Reader,
“People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.” – George Bernhard Shaw (Mrs. Warren’s Profession 1893)
Apart from Personalised goal, another Step in Taking Initiative is – Being Proactive.
“It means taking “action” when there is no guidance.”
A common question is ‘how do I know that something is going to happen in the future that requires attention now?’ Experience does help at this stage. But if you don’t have experience, then you might feel stuck.
The key to mastering ‘Being Proactive’ is having “Intentional Long term Plans”
When you have an intentional long term plan, you are better prepared to respond, control and affect the outcome.
The windshield is bigger than the rearview mirror. — Tom Daschle
Start putting together these 4 Long Term Plans and you’ll master Being Proactive easily.
Plan 1 – Your Life Plan – If you truly know what you plan to do in 15 years’ time, you can make some incredible and sound decisions today. That is being proactive.
Plan 2 – Yearly Plan – Although I put yearly, you can extend this to 5 year plans. If in 3 years’ time, you plan to go into consultancy and one of your company’s clients is a difficult consultancy company, and they require someone from your company to be posted there. While others are contemplating and trying to make a decision, you will proactively say ‘here I am, send me’, because you had a plan.
Plan 3 – Weekly Plan – This is very applicable to your workplace and personal life. Plan your week ahead. This way you can easily anticipate issues, and mitigate them before they even occur.
Plan 4 – Daily Planner – You might have heard this many times, and here it is again. Plan your day before the day fully starts. Some people do it the night before; some people do it very early on the day. If you have a mental and task list picture of tomorrow, you’ll be proactive when tomorrow comes (almost automatically
When you plan ahead for long enough, you become proactive rather than reactive.
