Ah-Ha! Moment – In January 2011, I decided to go "out of balance" for several months – consciously working many more hours than normal – to address time-critical business needs. This "out of balance" continued in March, and allowed me to move toward achieving my overall goal of "Creating Value for Everyone." In particular, I created value for my firm and one client where we work jointly to help cities and counties find more revenue – and there is plenty of demand for these services right now!
The results? I generated some key insights on a technical issue blocking progress, developed and communicated this insight to my staff for implementation, and oversaw implementation as a new service line neared completion!
As this last quarter has demonstrated, going "out of balance" is not sustainable – yet it can be absolutely essential when a project must be brought to successful completion.
