Eliminate: What a negative sounding word!
In contrast to conservation there are things we would like to change about where we are and what we do. These may be things that we fought hard to achieve earlier in our business life but are no longer useful or have become harmful. You may even find a few people in your business circles who need to be cut loose. Do those with compassion and fairness though!
The parasitic drag of low-value qualities, methods, and ideas degrades our professional and business worth. What core values no longer shape who you are as a person and a professional? As I mentioned earlier the successful executive knows what to conserve and what to eliminate. Discard the things that have served their useful life like:
- Outdated marketing tactics for yourself and your business
- Obsolete executive education and technical training
- Rigid business planning instead of fluidly adapting to customer demand
Be like the football coach that must cut some players to get down to the final roster for the season. Some of your habits are so useless that cutting them is no problem at all. Some things have been with you for a long time and you feel a sense of loyalty in spite of the fact they no longer add value to your professional life. These final cuts are harder to make but must be done too. Again, the help of an executive coach can shine a light on the things that you really want to eliminate.
What do you want to eliminate? Write them down.
