Читать книгу Leading from the Middle - Scott Mautz - Страница 37

Those in the middle must straddle between long‐term objectives and short‐term goals, balancing the need to attend to both.

The Role Play: Key here is to not think of the long and short‐term as distinct entities. When considering long‐term objectives, evaluate current short‐term actions to ensure they feed the longer‐term objectives. It's easy to lose the plot and chase urgent priorities of the moment that are, in truth, inconsistent with achieving a long‐term objective. And when engaged in short‐term activities, pay attention to what you learn along the way and let it inform and inspire the formulation of long‐term objectives.
