The On-Time, On-Target Manager: How a "Last-Minute Manager" Conquered Procrastination

by Kenneth H. Blanchard

“You can’t guess ya wanna. Ya truly gotta wanna. That’s what the third P is all about. It’s about commitment.

If a job comes between you, your family, and your dreams, you’re committed to the wrong priorities.”

Describe your priorities as you perceive them to be at this moment. How committed are you to those priorities? What do you personally believe to be the most important aspect of propriety? Do the right thing? Do it for the right reasons? Do it with the right people? Do it at the right time? Do it in the right order? Do it with intensity? Do it for the right results? Can you define your personal vision? What is your purpose/mission? What is your picture of the future? What are your most important values? How committed are you to those values? What are your short-term goals? How about your long-term goals? When it comes to integrity: Are you committed to the truth? Are you true to yourself? Are you willing to follow through on your commitments? No matter what the ultimate cost? No matter what the potential consequences?

PRIORITY. Triage everything. PROPRIETY. Remember the Bill of Rights. COMMITMENT. “I gotta wanna.”

THE THREE P’S OF THE ON-TIME, ON-TARGET PERSON: PRIORITY. Triage everything. PROPRIETY. Remember the Bill of Rights. COMMITMENT. “I gotta wanna.”
