Who should you invest your time with?

Filed Under Uncategorized 

Skip from Random Thoughts from a CTO provides some useful guidance for leaders trying to decide Who do I invest my time with?, he provides the following guidance:

  • Those that ask for my help. Who have come to me and need me to help resolve an issue.
  • Those that need my help. They are struggling with some tasks because of their weaknesses.
  • Those that are going through new changes. They may be working with new technology, tools, processes or people. Their dynamics and normal workflow have been impacted. I need to help them along with the change until they feel comfortable with it.
  • Those that will have the most impact to the organization. These are the future leaders of the company, the ones that have the most potential and contribute the most to the organization.
  • Those that have been given the most authority or responsibility. These are middle managers and “lead” positions where we need to get together and make sure we are aligned in direction. We need to be on the same page, with our goals and objectives. We need to make sure we are focused on what has been defined as important, and that we agree with priorities.
  • Those that are the opinion leaders. They may fit some of the groups above, or just have a pulse on what is going on in the organization. You need to know what they are hearing or thinking themselves, and work with them to make sure they are satisfied. If they are happy, others will be.

These are great guidelines and worth following….
