Roundup and Link Love: The Chain of Getting Things Done Edition

by Ron

Have you ever considered what is needed to effectively accomplish a task? I’ve been turning this over in my head for the past few days as I meditated on several things that I needed to happen at one of my stores. Here is what I came up with:

  1. Tools – having the proper tools is critical
  2. Knowledge – tools are worthless if you don’t know how to use them
  3. Training – book knowledge is great, training is better
  4. Willingness – nothing happens unless someone is willing to make it happen
  5. Experience – many tasks are much better performed by experienced people
  6. Enthusiasm – working with enthusiasm is the difference between getting something done and getting it done efficiently
  7. Commitment - a commitment to excellence and doing it right

Doing something, and doing it well, requires all seven components. Is there anything else I should consider adding to the list? Leave me a comment!

Here are some great posts that were all done well!
