039: Focused Work
What are your practices to create focused work? Why is focused work important? Maybe it is time to prepare for a client, a team meeting to organize others, or perhaps a meeting with an individual employee to discuss how they may be able to improve. In this episode, I discuss three main elements of creating deep work and how you actually execute deep work.
This is the third part of my four-part series on developing your leadership foundations to help you build your skills for the future. In this episode, I am concentrating on focused work. In the first two parts, we focused on habits of mind and habits of action.
We’ll dive deeper into these concepts:
- Deep work: what it is and how to do it.
- Distractions: the things that keep us away from our deep work.
- Strategies for learning new tasks, technologies or skills—methods and practices to continuously work to always learn new things.
Now for some action steps:
- Make a list of 3-5 things where you could generate value for the organization.
- Make a log of distractions so you can work to minimize them.
- Listen to the next episode, which will be the last in this series and will cover the skills to lead yourself and others.
