Whether we are leading a team of one or thirty, staying organized is critical to insuring a relatively smooth work process and preventing things from falling through the cracks. In addition, by being better organized we can reduce stress levels for ourselves and our team members. The article I posted below focuses on the ADHD executive and strategies he or she can apply at work to manage problems with organization. However, I find these strategies easily applicable to all of us, whether we are ADHD sufferers or not, and regardless of whether we play a leading role at work or a supporting one. I will admit, the strategy in this article that resonated with me the most was to be good but not perfect. I tend to be a perfectionist, and there have been times that that this tendency has needlessly brought me (and possibly a teammate or two) to tears. Ok, maybe tears is an exaggeration, but sad faces definitely! I like to think I have improved over the last couple of years, but this was a welcome reminder.
