If you've attained a management position, then you've certainly learned that you must delegate some or most of your work, to avoid being overwhelmed by your responsibilities. No single manager can do everything he or she is ultimately responsible for. Having responsibility for
something doesn’t mean it’s your job per se—you just need to make sure it’s done.
Take Merck's Roger Perlmutter. He’s in charge of the R&D Division that manufactures new drugs. He doesn’t invent the drugs. But he makes sure they are invented by people who focus on nothing else. His job is to cut out the fat that slows their production. When he took his position in 2012, he dismissed a surprising number of micromanaging bureaucrats who were slowing the R&D
process by their insistence that the researchers go through the chain of command for permission to do every little thing. |

January 5, 2015: D = Discipline. Maintain productive behaviors and control! Discipline is your ability to consistently follow your systems. Having the knowledge
won’t matter if you can’t stick to your guns. To maximize your productivity, you need to learn to do what must be done, and to exercise restraint over your own impulses, emotions, and desires. If you're self-disciplined, you exhibit consistent focus in your daily work—even when you don't feel like it. This webinar will help you stop procrastinating and stay on track during the day.
