Coming up for air....

Attitudeman has been submerged since last post! The day begins at 5:55 as I dash into the car, gym bag/briefcase/suit loaded the night before, arriving downtown at 6:50 for my workout and in the office or headed somewhere by 8:15 . By 6:30 that evening (no use leaving before due to bumper/bumber) I can treck home arriving by 7:15 . I believe this is as good as it is going to get - 13 hours; now looking for sleep by 10:00 (3 waking hours w/ the family - as I am hearing repeatetly). If this is the given reality, and I believe it is, the question becomes "How do I bend the organization/processes/client-team member expectations" so as to not "win the battle and loose the war"? The principal resource NOW is time. How to maximize time availability to accomplish my main behavioral goals: Assist each team member by allocating scheduled precious time, and calling on our clients to create a better awareness of their needs on a global basis. I am sure I have a plethora of financial and structural goals (I can give you 20 in 20 seconds), but I will achieve mostly all of them by focusing on the prior noted behavioral goals - that is the plan anyway!. Anything else will solely be a full reaction to the non-stop assault from every conceivable area. It is my choice how I dedicate my time; either I own it or someone/something will. Stay tuned......
