This document discusses focusing on result-oriented activities and the advantages of a result-oriented mindset. It defines result orientation as knowing what results are important and focusing resources to achieve them. An example is given of focusing on cleaning the kitchen to achieve the desired result of having a clean kitchen. The main advantages of a result-oriented mindset are flexibility, as the process is less important than the end result, and a drive to action, as wanting the result motivates taking the necessary steps to achieve it.

1. Focus on result oriented
activities

2. Meaning of Result Orientation:
• Knowing what results are important, and focusing resources to achieve them.
• How can I achieve this? What do I have to do now to get there? How does getting the
result feel? If you think result oriented, you tend to see the end in your mind and you are
looking for the fastest way to go there. You want to have the result. This means that you
become much more focused on action “flowing” towards the result.

3. Example of “Focus on Result Oriented activity” and its outcome:
• “I want to have a clean and nice kitchen. What do I have to do to get the result? I have to
wash the dishes, the plates and glasses and I put them into the cupboard then. So let’s
get moving! I want to have my sweet clean kitchen back. … hmm, washing the dishes is
not that bad actually”
• While it may not be that unbiased it makes the point clear: if you know why you are doing
it, you are more motivated to take action having your result in mind. The same applies to
all kind of usually more complex tasks.

4. Advantages in result oriented mindset:
1. Flexibility: If you think in results, the
way to get the result is not that
important. What matters is the result
itself. This means that your way to
get things done stays very flexible .
If approach one did not work,
doesn’t matter much! The approach
was not important, the result is. So
we just change the approach to a
better one. We don’t get stuck in a
process or even in the thick of
processes.

5.  Drive to Action: Another even more
important one is the drive to action . If
you want the result you usually want it
now. This produces a lot of potential
energy to invest into the actions to the
result. Anticipation of the result is what
makes the process actually enjoyable,
even if the task in itself is pretty boring.
