You Create Chaos
What if you could give your team the gift of less chaos in their day-to-day work?
Are you a one-woman human traffic jam? Is the team always waiting for you to finish tasks? Are you consistently late completing those tasks? Your inability to complete your tasks creates chaos on the team.
Chaos and constant firefighting lead to mistakes and rework. Mistakes cost time, rework costs time, and rushing costs time.
The easiest way to relieve some of that chaos is to stay current on your tasks for the team.
It’s the easiest way, not necessarily the simplest.
Not completing your tasks is a huge moral killer for your team. I know … no one ever said anything to you, and they likely won’t.
Entire projects are on hold because you haven’t completed a task assigned so long ago that you can’t even remember it. You are missing opportunities to create efficiencies within the business
Your team is standing on the sidelines waiting for traffic to move. They are frustrated. You will be paying them to fix mistakes. Your team pays with frustration, time away from family, and more time at work.
Telling them not to be frustrated is your way of trying to excuse your bad behavior. It’s unfair to the team and out of integrity with who you want to be.
Every time you say you will complete a task and then don’t follow through, you are breaking trust with your team. If you ask them to trust you and then routinely break that trust … you are failing your team. You are failing your business. You are failing yourself.
You are out of integrity. Think about the message you are sending to the Universe.
Imagine how difficult it will be to grow the business when you can’t complete the tasks needed to uplevel the business.
You can turn this around. It takes honestly appraising how you are using your time. It takes giving yourself permission to do the tasks you don’t like and the tasks you do like. You can still step away to get grounded or to recenter. Rather than taking 90 minutes to get grounder take 30 minutes. Then get back to your tasks.
I know, you need that time to regenerate and reconnect. I get it. I need that time too. AND I’ve learned to get a huge benefit from a 30-minute meditative walk. Yes, I would love to be completely free to ignore my tasks and focus on my Universal connection.
As a spiritually-minded business owner, it’s easy to try to wish away all of hte practical aspects of running your business. Completing tasks on time is one of those practicalities that will reduce the number of fires you and your team are putting out and keep the chaos to a minimum.
