Copy of a presentation that I delivered to a group of project managers at PMI Symposium in Ottawa, Canada. The key to managing your boss is to manage them in a style that they like. The key to managing your boss is modifying your style to be more in tune with theirs. Everyone communicates and interacts differently. If you communicate and interact with them in a style that they like - chances are they will be more receptive to what you have to say. This presentation - based on DISC Theory developed by William Marston - outlines four distinct styles of behavior - their strengths and limitations. More importantly it outlines what you need to do to be more effective when working with someone who has a different style then yours. They aren't going to change - You have to if you want to communicate and interact more effectively with others - including your boss.
The document discusses building a winning culture through unleashing productivity. It argues that the old paradigm of viewing employees as interchangeable parts is disengaging and that leaders must instead unleash each person's unique talents. It identifies three main productivity problems in the modern workplace: an overwhelming number of decisions, constant distraction, and personal energy crises. It then outlines a five-step approach leaders can take to address these problems by helping people focus on priorities, manage technology use, and avoid burnout.

Eat that Frog!
Learn how to stop procrastinating high value tasks that can move your life forward. This book discusses the importance of goal setting, creative procrastination, time management and creating priority ranking for all of your tasks.
This slideshow is a comprehensive overview of Brian Tracy's book Eat That Frog! The basic premise of Eat That Frog is that we should focus on the highest payback, least-appealing task of the day FIRST, before anything else. He asserts that "your ability to select your most important task at each moment, and then to start on that task and get it done both quickly and well, will probably have more of an impact on your success than any other quality or skill you can develop!”
According to the author, an average person who masters this one technique will run circles around a genius who talks a lot and makes wonderful plans, but gets very little done. (I know somebody like this, don’t you?)
Furthermore, he says that "The ability to concentrate on this one important task, single-mindedly, to do it well, and to finish it completely is the key to great success, achievement, status and happiness in life.”
Let's all go eat that frog!
I love Brian Tracy's use of quotes in the book, and have included many of them in the slideshow.
If you're looking to be more productive, stop procrastinating the important stuff (We can all use less procrastination, right?), start procrastinating more creatively (I like the sound of that!), and reach the goals you have yet to attain, I highly recommend utilizing this information!
For another overview of the book, go herehttp://www.empowernetwork.com/teresabrown/eat-that-frog-stop-procrastinating-and-get-more-done/?id=teresabrown and learn more.

Setting Goals by Sarah Buerger & Dr Chris StoutDr. Chris Stout
There are lots of planners, systems, seminars, and books to help achieve goals, get organized, and plan. But Meaningful Productivity is the first comprehensive approach for one’s LIFE – not just work or home. It is based on an integrative philosophy of living that has evolved and been acid-tested in the real world by its originator. It is designed to be specifically tailored to your needs, goals, and ambitions.
Meaningful Productivity is designed to be simple and unencumbered. It is basically a hybrid of a scheduling system/planner with a to-do list. Its simplicity is its power. It is my goal to get Meaningful Productivity out to the masses, via amazon so it is as affordable as it is easy to use. I am not too concerned with my copyright, other than you recognize my authorship and perhaps may wish to use my consultative services or purchase other materials, via DrChrisStout.com.
My focus is on life significance. This significance is defined via achievement with satisfaction. Significance wins out over success. Meaning and individualized importance are drivers. Sure, sometimes these result in outward reward of status, celebrity, or wealth, but these are side-effects, not ends. This philosophy is best stated in one of my mottos: “Do important things.”
I feel the accomplished life is ongoing, not an endpoint. Accomplishment should occur across the life span. Life thus needs a design. Certainly randomness has its place, and entropy can make for an enjoyable calamity, but a life left to be “designed” by chance is too much at risk of being wasted.
Some choose to simplify their lives. And this has become quite popular as of late. I support this philosophy with clarification: to simplify is to be unencumbered from the unnecessary, not to sacrifice needs and self-defined reasonable wants.
It is my philosophy to support high-achievement over over-achievement. Over-achievers tend to be more driven by obtaining external trappings resultant from achievement rather than inherent drive by the work itself. These are the individuals who risk burn out they are those who feel heavy work involvement is expected by a superior (not the result of an “internal” motivation); or feel a need to perform for others; or feel pride in external/material attainment over intrinsic satisfaction in the work itself; and then they reach a point in mid- to late-career that results in the “is this all there is?” phenomenon.

From Concept to reality : Implementing Lean Managements DMAIC Methodology for...Rokibul Hasan
The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a cornerstone of the economy, but increasing costs and stagnant productivity pose significant challenges to profitability. This study explores the implementation of Lean Management in the Sampling Section of RMG factories to enhance productivity. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, theoretical framework, and action research methodology, the study identifies key areas for improvement and proposes solutions.
Through the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), the research identifies low productivity as the primary problem in the Sampling Section, with a PPH (Productivity per head) of only 4.0. Using Lean Management techniques such as 5S, Standardized work, PDCA/Kaizen, KANBAN, and Quick Changeover, the study addresses issues such as pre and post Quick Changeover (QCO) time, improper line balancing, and sudden plan changes.
The research employs regression analysis to test hypotheses, revealing a significant correlation between reducing QCO time and increasing productivity. With a regression equation of Y = -0.000501X + 6.72 and an R-squared value of 0.98, the study demonstrates a strong relationship between the independent variables (QCO downtime and improper line balancing downtime) and the dependent variable (productivity per head).
The findings suggest that by implementing Lean Management practices and addressing key productivity inhibitors, RMG factories can achieve substantial improvements in efficiency and profitability. The study provides valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance productivity in the RMG industry and similar manufacturing sectors.

Many companies have perceived CRM that accompanied by numerous
uncoordinated initiatives as a technological solution for problems in
individual areas. However, CRM should be considered as a strategy when
a company decides to implement it due to its humanitarian, technological
and process-related effects (Mendoza et al., 2007, p. 913). CRM is
evolving today as it should be seen as a strategy for maintaining a longterm relationship with customers.
A CRM business strategy includes the internet with the marketing,
sales, operations, customer services, human resources, R&D, finance, and
information technology departments to achieve the company’s purpose and
maximize the profitability of customer interactions (Chen and Popovich,
2003, p. 673).
After Corona Virus Disease-2019/Covid-19 (Coronavirus) first
appeared in Wuhan, China towards the end of 2019, its effects began to
be felt clearly all over the world. If the Coronavirus crisis is not managed
properly in business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer
(B2C) sectors, it can have serious negative consequences. In this crisis,
companies can typically face significant losses in their sales performance,
existing customers and customer satisfaction, interruptions in operations
and accordingly bankruptcy

m249-saw PMI To familiarize the soldier with the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon ...LinghuaKong2
M249 Saw marksman PMIThe Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), or 5.56mm M249 is an individually portable, gas operated, magazine or disintegrating metallic link-belt fed, light machine gun with fixed headspace and quick change barrel feature. The M249 engages point targets out to 800 meters, firing the improved NATO standard 5.56mm cartridge.The SAW forms the basis of firepower for the fire team. The gunner has the option of using 30-round M16 magazines or linked ammunition from pre-loaded 200-round plastic magazines. The gunner's basic load is 600 rounds of linked ammunition.The SAW was developed through an initially Army-led research and development effort and eventually a Joint NDO program in the late 1970s/early 1980s to restore sustained and accurate automatic weapons fire to the fire team and squad. When actually fielded in the mid-1980s, the SAW was issued as a one-for-one replacement for the designated "automatic rifle" (M16A1) in the Fire Team. In this regard, the SAW filled the void created by the retirement of the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) during the 1950s because interim automatic weapons (e.g. M-14E2/M16A1) had failed as viable "base of fire" weapons.
Early in the SAW's fielding, the Army identified the need for a Product Improvement Program (PIP) to enhance the weapon. This effort resulted in a "PIP kit" which modifies the barrel, handguard, stock, pistol grip, buffer, and sights.
The M249 machine gun is an ideal complementary weapon system for the infantry squad platoon. It is light enough to be carried and operated by one man, and can be fired from the hip in an assault, even when loaded with a 200-round ammunition box. The barrel change facility ensures that it can continue to fire for long periods. The US Army has conducted strenuous trials on the M249 MG, showing that this weapon has a reliability factor that is well above that of most other small arms weapon systems. Today, the US Army and Marine Corps utilize the license-produced M249 SAW.

2. SOME FACTS ABOUT TIME WASTING
[Source: click here]
• The average company spends 16 days per year searching for paper documents.
• The average person spends 35 minutes commuting each day.
• Senior managers spend at least 23 hours in meetings every week.
• The average person gets 1 interruption every 8 minutes.
• Over 40% of employees spend at least 25% of their week on data entry.
• Every hour of TV watching cuts 22 minutes off your lifespan.
• Many more…
4. PRELUDE
• The degree to which you feel in control of your time and your life is a major determinant
of your level of inner peace, harmony, and mental well-being.
• A feeling of being “out of control” of your time is the major source of stress, anxiety, and
depression.
• The better you can organize and control the critical events of your life,
• The better you will feel, moment to moment,
• The more energy you will have,
• The better you will sleep, and
• The more you will get done.
5. THE PSYCHOLOGY OF TIME MANAGEMENT
People Who Manage Their Time Well
Feel Positive, Confident, and In Charge of Their Lives.
6. THE LAW OF CONTROL
This law says that you feel good
about yourself to the degree to which
you feel you are in control of your
own life.
Internal locus vs. External locus
MAKE A DECISION
It’s Simple. Use the four Ds:
Desire, Decisiveness, Determination,
and Discipline.
(explained in subsequent slide)
VISUALIZE YOURSELF AS
YOU WANT TO BE
Create a picture of yourself as calm,
confident, highly efficient, more
relaxed, and able to complete large
amounts of work in a short period of
time.
7. THE FOUR D’S OF EFFECTIVENESS
• DESIRE - You must have an intense, burning desire to get your time
under control and to achieve maximum effectiveness.
• DECISIVENESS - You must make a clear decision that you are going
to practice good time management techniques until they become a
habit.
• DETERMINATION - You must be willing to persist in the face of all
temptations to the contrary until you have become an effective time
manager.
• DISCIPLINE - Effective discipline is the willingness to force yourself
to pay the price, and to do what you know you should do, when you
should do it, whether you feel like it or not. This is critical for
success.

A POWERFUL LESSON ON TIME MANAGEMENT >>
9. DETERMINE YOUR VALUES
Feel motivated and determined to get control of your time.
Analyze yourself, to gain better insight into the person you really are inside.
10. “I AM …”
If a stranger were to ask you, “who are
you, really?”
What would be your answer?
Select three to five words to complete
the sentence, “I am …”
“LIFE IS …”
Your response here may seem simple, but
it speaks to your entire philosophy of
life.
Positive, healthy, happy people see life
as a wonderful experience, full of ups
and downs, but certainly a great
adventure overall.
“MY BIGGEST GOAL IN
LIFE IS …”
If you could wave a magic wand and
accomplish a single big goal in life, what
one goal, either short or long term,
would have the greatest positive impact
on your life?

12. THINK BEFORE ACTING
Before you step on the accelerator of
your own life, you must develop absolute
clarity about what you are really trying
to accomplish.
Engage in Self-Analysis and Introspection
KEEP THE END IN MIND
“As you scramble up the ladder of
success, be sure that it is leaning against
the right building.”
EXAMINE YOUR
METHODOLOGY & SEEK A
BETTER WAY
When you are clear about what you are
trying to do, you must then ask,
“How am I trying to do it?”
“How is it going?”
“Could there be a better way?”
14. PROJECT FORWARD, LOOK BACKWARD
True Greatness only emerges with Introspection, Retrospection, Solitude, and Contemplation.
15. LONG TIME PERSPECTIVE
Dr. Edward banfield of harvard university conducted more than fifty
years of research into the attitudes and behaviors of high-performing
people, both in america and worldwide. He identified one special
quality that seemed to separate the high performers from the low
performers. He called it “long time perspective.”
Banfield found that high performers took the time to think far into the
future, often ten and twenty years, and to develop absolute clarity
about where they wanted to be in their lives and work at that time.
They then come back to the present and make sure that everything
they are doing in the moment is consistent with where they want to be
in the future.
This is a powerful technique that you can use, too.
16. LONG-TIME PERSPECTIVE
Project forward one, two, or three years,
and imagine that your life situation is
ideal in every way.
Then, ask yourself if what you are doing
right now is consistent with the creation
of your ideal future?
MAKE BETTER DECISIONS
IN THE PRESENT
The rule is that long-term vision improves
short-term decision making.
You have heard the saying,
“if you don’t know where you’re going,
any road will get you there.”
MAKE WRITTEN PLANS
There is a rule that “every minute spent
in planning saves ten minutes in
execution.”
As Henry Ford said, “The biggest goal
can be achieved if you simply break it
down into enough small parts.”
17. PLANNING FOR GOAL ACHIEVEMENT
Once you have set a larger goal for yourself and your business, there
are four questions that you should ask:
1. What are the difficulties and obstacles that stand between you
and the achievement of your goal?
2. What additional knowledge, skills, or information are required to
achieve your goal or complete your project?
3. Who are the people, groups, or organizations whose help and
cooperation you need in order to achieve your goal?
4. Of all the people who can help you to achieve your goal, who is
the most important person of all?
“Remember that what gets measured gets done.”
A goal without a deadline is not really a goal. It is merely a discussion.
18. CHART YOUR PROJECTS
This is another example of slow thinking that can significantly increase
your effectiveness and your output, and your ultimate value to your
business.
• Start with the end in mind.
• Take the time to develop absolute clarity about what your goals
would look like if they were accomplished in an excellent fashion.
• Then, work back from the future to the present.
• Make a list of the logical steps, in order, that you need to take to
get from where you are to where you want to be.
A PERT chart enables you to see a variety of ways to achieve the task
with greater efficiency.
19. GENERAL MOTORS (FROM BANKRUPTCY TO BILLIONS IN PROFITS)
General Motors went from massive losses and bankruptcy in
2009 to a $4.9 billion profit in 2012. Dan Akerson, the
president of GM, said that the most important part of the
company’s turnaround was the setting of clear goals for each
key person and at each level of the organization. Before
taking the position, he found that goals throughout the
organization were vague, unclear, unenforced, and rarely
achieved. After establishing clear, specific goals, all
employees knew exactly what they had to do to keep their
job and to move ahead.
Remember, the most wonderful talent you have is your ability
to think, especially to think things through in advance. The
more time you take to think and plan, on paper, the better
results you will get, and the faster you will get those results.
21. SLEEP BETTER
Twelve minutes spent in preparing a
daily list will give you a payback of 120
minutes, or two hours of increased
productivity, when you actually begin
work.
Create a list before you go to bed.
THE ABCDE METHOD
Items marked:
‘A’ – Serious and Important things to do.
‘B’ – Mild consequences for doing / not
doing the tasks.
‘C’ – They have no consequences either
positive / negative
TIME WASTAGE
SABOTAGES CAREERS
Robert Half International estimates that
as much as 50 percent of working time is
spent on C activities, things that make no
contribution at all to the business.
22. DELEGATE EVERYTHING
POSSIBLE
‘D’ – You can delegate to someone else.
The rule is that you should delegate
everything that you possibly can to other
people to free up more time for you to
engage in your A activities.
‘E’ – You should eliminate altogether.
PLAN YOUR WORK AND
WORK YOUR PLAN
Time Management Tools
• In Mobiles, Tablets, Wearables
• In Computers, Laptops
• ‘Hand-Written’ – most effective
THE NOT-TO-DO LIST
“Just say no!” Just say no to any activity
that does not represent the highest value
of your time.
“No” is the greatest time-saving word in
the world of time management. And
once you start using this word, it gets
easier and easier to say.
24. SET CLEAR PRIORITIES
The ABCDE method is the most powerful priority setting methods.
Additional techniques that you can use to set priorities are …
25. THE PARETO PRINCIPLE
The 80/20 rule seems to apply to almost
all areas of human endeavor, especially
tasks and responsibilities.
That is, 20 percent of the work that you
do will account for 80 percent of the
value of all the work that you do.
PUT ON THE PRESSURE
Make up your daily list of activities and
then ask yourself “If I were called out of
the town for a month, starting tomorrow,
what activities on this list would I want to
complete before I left town?”
GET MORE IMPORTANT
THINGS DONE
Your effectiveness and efficiency is largely
a matter of choice.
With a sufficient incentive, and a decision
on your part, you would almost immediately
become one of the most valuable people in
your organization.
26. THE LAW OF THREE
Make a list of everything you do in the course of a month, it will
probably include twenty, thirty or even forty different tasks and
responsibilities.
If you review that list carefully, item by item, you will find that only 3
items on your entire list account for 90% of your value to business.
How to determine your Big Three?
1. If could only do one thing on this list, all day long, which one
activity would contribute the greatest value to my business?
2. If could only do two things on this list, all day long, which two
activities would contribute the greatest value to my business?
3. If could only do three things on this list, all day long, which three
activities would contribute the greatest value to my business?
27. STAY ON TRACK
What is the most valuable use of my time right now?
What is your most valuable financial asset? - “Your Earning Ability”
29. DETERMINE YOUR KEY RESULT AREAS [KRA]
Defined as having three specific qualities
30. ABSOLUTELY YOU MUST
DO
Its is something that you absolutely,
positively must do to fulfil the
responsibilities and demands of your job.
YOU ARE 100%
RESPONSIBLE
It is something for which you are 100%
responsible. If you do not do it yourself,
there is no one else, who can or will do it
for you.
COMPLETELY UNDER YOUR
CONTROL
It is something completely under your
control. You do need the assistance or
participation of someone else in order to
complete this part of your work.
31. DELEGATE TO OTHERS
You always have a choice.
You can do it yourself, or you can have someone else do it.
32. DELEGATION IS LEARNABLE
[All business skills are learnable]
• Delegate everything you possibly can to
others who can do the tasks as well as or
better than you.
• Use the 70% Rule: “If someone else can do a
particular task 70% as well as you, this job is
a prime candidate for you to get off your
plate and to that person’s plate.
• High productivity requires that you always
think in terms of the latter approach: “who
else can do this job rather than me?”
34. PRACTICE
SINGLE-HANDLING
With single-handling, once you pick up a
task and begin on it, you discipline
yourself to bring it to completion before
you go on to the next task.
[Time and Motion Study – On
Productivity]
AVOID MULTI-TASKING
Multi-tasking is actually “task-shifting.”
If you stop doing one task to turn to
another task, you must shift all of your
attention and energy to the new task.
When you return to the first task, you
must bring yourself up to speed on the
old task before you get started again.
DECIDE TO CONCENTRATE
Avoid “attraction of distraction”
Do not respond to every mail, message,
phone, “leave things off!”
Close your door, turn-off all devices, put
everything aside.
Your productivity, performance, and output
will double and triple, almost overnight.
37. ELEPHANTS AND CHAINS
A man was passing by an elephant enclosure in a zoo
when he noticed that the huge animals were being
restricted using only a small rope tied to their front leg.
There were no chains and no cages. Clearly, these
elephants could break out of these bonds without much
effort. The man was intrigued and asked the mahout about
it. The mahout smiled and said, ‘Right from the time when
the elephants are small, we use the same rope to tie them.
At that age, this rope is enough to hold them. As they
grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break
away. They believe that the same rope can still restrain
them, so they never try to break free.’
This is a phenomenon called
‘belief perseverance / assumed constraint’.
38. MENTAL PROGRAMMING
Whenever you find yourself
procrastinating on an important task,
repeat to yourself, with energy and
enthusiasm,
“Do it now! Do it now! Do it now!”
COMPLETING LARGER
TASKS
Henry Ford once wrote “Any goal can be
achieved, if you break it down into
enough small parts.”
Write down every small part of the task
that you have to do, in sequence, from
first little job to the final job that
completes the task.
DEVELOP A SENSE OF
URGENCY
What employees can do to put
themselves on fast track:
1. The ability to set priorities.
2. The ability to start on the most
important job and get it done
quickly and well.
39. CREATE BLOCKS OF TIME
You need a minimum of sixty to ninety minutes to accomplish anything worthwhile.
40. HOW TO CREATE CHUNKS
OF TIME
• Work in the morning when you are
fresh and most alert.
• Use lunch time
In the uninterrupted time you will
accomplish as much as the average
person does in an office environment in
three hours.
DO NOT DISTURB
• Close your office door for certain
periods each day during which you
can work single-mindedly on your
biggest tasks.
• Putting on a switched-off head-
phone, will indicate to others that
you’re busy.
GAIN EXTRA HOURS
• Arrive at your office one hour before
everyone else.
• Work through the Lunch
• Stay one hour late, after everyone
else has gone home
41. CONTROL INTERRUPTIONS
• Work all the time you work
• Minimize Interruptions
• Stand up immediately
BATCH YOUR TASKS
• Use E-mail as a Servant
• They can wait
• Ex: 700 E-mail messages
MANAGE THE TELEPHONE
• Bunch your calls
• Be polite and professional
• Avoid telephone tag
42. CIRCADIAN RYTHM
On a work day after a day off, preferably, ask each employee to plot their day from waking up to going to sleep in
hourly blocks. Then in each of those blocks they will identify if they were naturally-
a. On fire
b. Vibrant
c. On cruise control
d. At 70%
e. Distracted
f. Slowing down
g. Tired
h. Hungry
Recognizing that each of has natural energy levels that fluctuate throughout the day allows us to make better decisions
about when to tackle the big important tasks, and when to do the more mundane work. If everyone posts their rhythm
charts on a wall, it can be eye-opening for coworkers and teammates to recognize optimal working times for their
colleagues.
Game
43. WHAT I DID YESTERDAY…
a. Bring everyone together and ask each of them to jot down 10 things they did at work yesterday.
b. Next, on a separate sheet of paper, ask them jot down the 5 topics that they expect to discuss at their next appraisal/performance
review.
c. Have them look at the two lists together and mark in some way on the first list all the things which have a direct link to the second list.
The funny thing about this is how quick we are to try to justify our actions. Many people may try to make indirect links to do just that.
The real ‘aha!’ moment comes with the recognition that we spend time on things which have little or no impact or effect on our performance.
If you take it one step further and have them plot that list of 10 things on a grid that stresses importance or urgency, it requires them to
sort out what’s truly relevant toward better managing their time.
This game clearly links performance with activity.
Game
44. TIME SQUARED
Over the course of this game, you will give the participants 3 pages printed with 24 squares that represent the 24 hours of
a day. (For those who are more specific, you may want to have a few sheets that further divide the hour square into four
quarters.)
a. Hand the first page to them immediately and ask them to fill the squares based on the time they spend on routine
activities of their regular day – things like sleeping (8 hours = 8 squares), bathing, eating, travel, TV time, etc.
b. Hand out the second page and ask them to fill the squares based on the time they spend on non-productive time at their
