regarding any technique, know that by remaining open to learning while doing the work (letting go of what you think you know), that is where you will find the \u201cwisdom in the work,\u201d which can bubble up into profound thoughts and ideas that can help you work better.

\nbalance short-term efficiency gains against long-term effectiveness expectations<\/strong><\/p>\n

it is important to be aware of the choices you make every day between being effective and efficient in your performance. in my view, being effective implies taking the necessary steps to achieve your desired long-term results. being efficient is about managing short-term waste\u00a0\u2013 focusing on the fastest way to get results.<\/p>\n

the idea of working better is based on being both efficient and effective in what you do. but all too often, we take the gains available from short-term efficiency while putting at risk or sacrificing our long-term effectiveness.<\/p>\n

when i joined my current martial arts school about 14 years ago, because of my eight years of previous training in \u201chard\u201d martial arts styles, i quickly advanced in rank (when you join a new school, you start over\u00a0 as a white belt). i shied away from the \u201csofter\u201d chinese and japanese styles taught at the school because i felt that i could get promoted more quickly building on what i already knew (efficient). the problem was by the time i was a purple belt (a beginning instructor level), i was way behind in my overall development toward becoming a black belt because of my limited knowledge of the softer side of martial arts.<\/p>\n

after i realized the error of my ways, i started focusing on the chinese and japanese styles. but learning how to be softer at this point of my development was even more difficult because not only did i have to learn new skills, i had to unlearn many bad habits i had developed over the years by overcommitting to the harder styles. i chose the short-term gain in performance (efficiency) over making important long-term progress (effectiveness) toward my overall objective. in the end, what seemed like a shorter path to black belt actually became a much longer one.<\/p>\n

consider training your people as another example of this technique. the most efficient approach we can take to maximize the production of our people is to tell them to do only those projects they<\/p>\n
