Saber priorizar dentro da rotina de trabalho as principais atividades, consideradas mais urgentes e importantes no processo é essencial, pois no dia a dia surgem várias situações que te tiram do foco ou da execução de tarefas importantes do processo.

Los roles que más satisfacción me han proporcionado en mi carrera son aquellos con métricas claras, específicas y alcanzables. He sido testigo de numerosas situaciones donde las métricas no son cuantificables y se adopta un modelo de trabajo en el que, si pareces poco estresado, se te asigna más trabajo sin compensación adicional, convirtiéndose en una lucha de poder en lugar de un vínculo de apoyo mutuo. Para el empleador, es recomendable medir la productividad de los empleados por el beneficio de ambas partes y en caso de ver variaciones incentivar el crecimiento y no castigarlo.

Es muy importante tener Claridad en todas las demandas y los objetivos que nos pensemos trazar cuando negociemos nuestras expectativas con otras personas. Esto no solo incluye cuando vamos a solicitar un trabajo, sino también en las relaciones interpersonales que tengamos con los demás, es muy importante ser claro, sincero honesto, en pocas palabras, ser asertivo con todas las expectativas que se tienen, lo que quiero ofrecer para que se cumplan dichas expectativas y que sea un negocio gana-gana con quien sea que estemos realizando dicha negociación.

Embrace "get comfortable being uncomfortable." So many times we get stuck doing things because it is just "the way it has always been done." Don't be afraid to step-up and recommend new solutions or processes. You may get pushback at first, but stand firm, bring examples and facts about why this would be impactful/beneficial. Leading the way through a new process may be tough to change mindsets, but showing that you can stay on course and influence others shows your leadership capabilities. Learning a new skill or working with a new team may be uncomfortable at first, but this is your opportunity to grow. If you're having a difficult time overcoming a barrier, take a step back, refocus, and ask for input. You don't know what you don't know.

The greatest companies and people throughout history bore trials, embraced challenges, experienced hardships, which tested and molded them. They learned to shed wasteful thoughts and drains on resources, similar to a pruned tree. If unpruned, the dead limbs soak up fuel and growth, but when the dead branches are trimmed, an abundance of life and growth springs forth. Same with people, organizations. Embrace change, even if it’s unpopular.
