The Three Steps of System-Improvement
Learn to work the system. And not just one: work all the systems in your control — social, work, financial, biological, and mechanical. Do you see your systems? Do you control them?
The systems of your life are integral to every move you make: the roles you play as father, mother, son or daughter; the tasks you accomplish at work. Your health.
It doesn’t matter if you are a leader, employee, stay-at-home mom or dad, retiree, or student, your life is composed of systems that are yours to control — or not control.
Life is serious business, and whether you know it or not, or whether you like it or not, your personal systems are the threads of the fabric of your life. Together, they add up to you. But if you are like most people, you negotiate the day enmeshed in haphazard detail without seeing the systems of your life as the singular entities they are, some working well and some not working so well. If you are like most people, you defensively deal with the products – the results – of inefficient systems. Day in, and day out, you’re killing fires.
In the complexity that is your life, what if you could distinctly see each of these separate systems? Then, what if you could reach in and pluck a not-so-perfect system out of that complexity, make it perfect, and then reinsert it? What if you could perform this mechanical process with every system that comprises your life?
How can you take control of things and be on the offensive?
