After I started to practice project management, I realized how important it is to have a meaningful purpose at work and in private life, which will drive your energy and enthusiasm. Sometimes these are project goals, sometimes these are management goals, operational or personal development goals. What matters is that these goals give a certain orientation and provide the “What” and “Why”. If you know your “Whats” and “Whys”, you will figure out “How” and you will be more productive because your will build around those goals the actions you will need to do.
I believe, the same approach is also good for people or team management. You know your “What” and “Why” and you figure out together how to get there…
And you? Do you know your why? Does it give you the needed energy boost when you start your day?
