Managing using "Manageable" Blocks of Time for Success
Alone, with temperatures plunging to -30 degrees Celsius, Shackel first broke the night into five thousand five-second intervals. He decided to deal with only one interval at a time -- a strategy based on his knowledge that effective leaders break big challenges into smaller, more manageable ones. Then, stepping back to see the bigger picture, he relied on vision, intuition, and faith to keep him alive. Shackel emerged from this harrowing experience having cemented his belief that the principles fundamental to leadership are also key to tackling any challenge.
Are you setting aside a whole day for a specific task?
Or into intervals that are more manageable?
There are a number of other great points in his book including:
** Treating delays as "found" time.
** Establishing Trust with and Delegating to others
** Understanding your Strengths, concentrating on them and outsourcing / delegating others.

Finding your Blue Ocean
It's been a couple of years since I first was introduced to Blue Ocean Strategy and it's principles continue to be seen from day to day. Part of the Strategy, suggests that you as a individual in your Personal Brand, or your firm as a company, create value proposition that is very different than the competition. What you bring to your industry or customers that is so unique that you begin to leave the competition "in the dust" or playing in that other "red" ocean where everyone is biting off small pieces of the same pie.
