The first approach can be very successful

Launching a new business is not easy. You have to give up the comforts of a stable paycheck to delve into the unknown, an unpredictable abyss.

What is personal approach?

Improving the fit between the priorities of managers, their direct reports, and their supervisors—all the way up to the CEO—is a good place to start.

At first, when Todd started using the six-box to-do list, everyone got nervous. Some of the anxiety was about putting to-do lists on display. But after the first few days, that turned out to be a nonissue.

The real source of discomfort was that Todd’s direct reports began to discard much of what they had previously planned to do.

The six-box to-do list clarifies this confusion by putting everything on paper and ensuring alignment—not just top down, but across the hierarchy as well.

The power of this process lies in its simplicity and its concreteness. These are not top-five goals or top-five objectives

use these to-do lists to manage your employees more closely, without micromanaging. In one quick glance, you can look at their priorities, as well as the actions that they’re taking to move those top-five areas of focus forward.

Clarifying priorities for daily action at the most senior levels of the organization is particularly important precisely because the most senior jobs are often the most complex and scattered

But in this case, the simplest solution may be the most powerful because most behavior-change challenges are simply about how people are spending their time.

That’s precisely where individual time management and organizational time management need to intersect. The question is how. Here’s a straightforward approach.

If this problem bedevils salespeople in organizations like Todd’s, imagine its impact on senior executives.

The scope, complexity, and ambiguity of senior leaders’ roles not only create near-infinite permutations of priorities but also make it more difficult to get real-time performance or productivity feedback.

Is it any wonder that only 52 percent of 1,500 executives McKinsey surveyed said that the way they spent their time largely matched their organizations’ strategic priorities? (For more on this research, see “Making time management the organization’s priority.”)

We don’t often place organizational problems (such as weak alignment between the priorities of a company’s strategy or poor collaboration among the senior team) in the domain of time management, which is generally seen as an issue for individuals.

I’ve told them all this multiple times,” Todd said. “I’ve even sat them through a long training. But their behavior isn’t changing.
