The only problem with focusing on time rather than output is that for most people tasks will expand to fill the time available. I actually prefer to focus on the results – because then if I’m really efficient I get the bonus of extra time to use as I choose.

Very interesting spin on Ann’s comment Mark. I think I certainly could use some of that scheduled time to enhance some work habits. Thanks for sharing.

Makes me think of “more, better, different”…really speaking to the better and the different! No matter if you are a leader or not, we ALL coach – even if it is self coaching/goal setting. The margin for error is now paper thin as our global market comes ever closer, so as you said “Brand Matters”…it matters in every voice message, phone call, order entered, email sent. It should be a consistent internal/external brand. These are truly exciting times! It’s up to ALL – not just leaders – to train, coach, brand!

Thanks Mark. I think we have probably crossed paths in the Sales Playbook group on LinkedIn. I am a big fan of Paul Castain and his teachings. I am going to invite you to connect on LinkedIn if that is cool with you. Have a great day!
