Getting Things Done

For leaders, in particular, the challenge today is not information overload, but being open to meaningful ideas and opportunities as they appear. Daily schedules are so full, a leader needs a strategy just to take in new stuff, be open to its potential impact, recalibrate the inventory of things that always need to be done, and then reset and redirect his or her energies. This is not a light-weight event.

Leaders are hungry for clear space to do creative thinking. Because of daily demands, however, it’s extremely difficult to achieve that mental freedom without critical skills and behaviors for self-management. Knowing what not to do is just as important as knowing what needs to be done. In fact, most people don’t realize the full extent and total demand of their commitments.

In this 90-minute interactive webinar, David Allen will describe the strategies, tools and specific behaviors that dramatically upgrade individual and organizational productivity. In particular, he will focus on:

1. The 5 stages of control and the 6 horizons of focus necessary for personal self-management
2. How to get immediate control of “current reality”
3. How to keep track of the total inventory of your commitments
4. Why organizational issues are often personal process issues
5. Why it’s so challenging to change the simplest habits
6. How to continually self-consult to get back on your game
