Busy does not always mean effective. In the study by Sumantra and Bruch they found busy-ness by a manager does not necessarily mean the manager is being effective in his job. The 10% that were effective had the ability to combine energy and focus to get the results they wanted, the rest were spinning their wheels. The folks in the 10% group increased their energy by doing two things. First they approached each task with laser-like precision until it was completed. Secondly, they exercised self-discipline so as not to be side-tracked by distractions.
I've always heard that if you want something done give it to the busiest person you can find. Guess that concept doesn't hold water according to Sumantra and Bruch. According to them you give the project to the person who can focus and has the self-discipline to get it done. By the way, I love the definition these authors have for energy. Check this out; "Energy is the emotional tenacity that releases immense inner resources, allowing the hardest job to be done."
Here's a challenge for us; for one day be aware of how we focus our energy and not allow distractions to take us off track.
