The third strategy is SELF MANAGEMENT. But not just any self-management, this is personallized method, productivity techniques, and work quality management. 

Here are  traits that star performers share. Star performers:

  • Learn how to add value to the critical path (think capital in terms of growing profits or reducing losses) is for the organization.

  • Choose work that allows them to leverage who they are, use their talents, get into flow, and experience job satisfaction.

  • Review their personal productivity and devise ways to increase personal effectiveness and efficiency.

  • Borrow innovative techniques and methods for better self management, observing work routines of others.

  • Experiment with changes in their work routine to develop productive habits, try new approaches, and evaluate their effectiveness. 

  • Make a compelling case to management for changing job descriptions that restrict them from the work the do best. 

  • Adopt behaviors that allow them to minimize interruptions in their work day. 

  • Avoid time killer crises by planning for problems.

  • Develop procrastination-busting work habits and build enjoyable work around drudge tasks.

  • Accept unproductive work periods, and know how to break out of a slump.
