HBR \u2013 How Will You Measure Your Life? (by Clayton M. Christensen)<\/a><\/em><\/p>\nI have a bunch of \u201cbusinesses\u201d that compete for these resources\u2026 And I have exactly the same problem that a corporation does. I have a limited amount of time and energy and talent. How much do I devote to each of these pursuits?<\/p>\n
Allocation choices can make your life turn out to be very different from what you intended. Sometimes that\u2019s good: Opportunities that you never planned for emerge. But if you misinvest your resources, the outcome can be bad. As I think about my former classmates who inadvertently invested for lives of hollow unhappiness, I can\u2019t help believing that their troubles relate right back to a short-term perspective.<\/p>\n
When people who have a high need for achievement\u2014and that includes all Harvard Business School graduates\u2014have an extra half hour of time or an extra ounce of energy, they\u2019ll unconsciously allocate it to activities that yield the most tangible accomplishments. And our careers provide the most concrete evidence that we\u2019re moving forward. You ship a product, finish a design, complete a presentation, close a sale, teach a class, publish a paper, get paid, get promoted. \u2026<\/p>\n
If you study the root causes of business disasters, over and over you\u2019ll find this predisposition toward endeavors that offer immediate gratification. If you look at personal lives through that lens, you\u2019ll see the same stunning and sobering pattern: people allocating fewer and fewer resources to the things they would have once said mattered most.<\/p>\n
Create a Culture<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nThere\u2019s an important model in our class called the Tools of Cooperation, which basically says that being a visionary manager isn\u2019t all it\u2019s cracked up to be. It\u2019s one thing to see into the foggy future with acuity and chart the course corrections that the company must make. But it\u2019s quite another to persuade employees who might not see the changes ahead to line up and work cooperatively to take the company in that new direction.<\/strong> Knowing what tools to wield to elicit the needed cooperation is a critical managerial skill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your decisions about allocating your personal time, energy, and talent ultimately shape your life\u2019s strategy. \u00abNo me da la vida\u00bb Origen: HBR \u2013 How Will You Measure Your Life?
