Priorities are defined as something given or meriting attention before competing alternatives. It’s what you are willing to commit to and do. It’s about knowing and doing those things that are going to get the organization to realize its desired outcomes.

Achieving high levels of success in business is always predicated on establishing priorities within an organization. It’s what we choose to do each day and how we do it that makes all the difference.

Managing and executing your strategy is one of those commitments. It requires an enhanced level of involvement if it’s to be done well, which includes putting into place processes that ensure your key initiatives get completed while also continuing to deliver on day-to-day expectations.

Performing at this level takes time, effort, and a deeper level of thinking to accomplish and do it well.

Despite the potential for achieving greater outcomes, many organizations either misunderstand or aren’t willing to commit the effort it takes to put strategy execution into place.

Are these businesses and organizations really overburdened by their workloads to the point where they would forego completing an implementation plan for their strategy?

Or is it that their priorities are just focused on doing different things?

Here are some advantages that accrue to us when we implement and execute on strategy:

* People perform better when they are under observation (supported and given truthful, consistent, and constructive feedback),

* There is always “follow through” by leaders who hold a vested interest in those that report to them.

* People learn from their successes and failures as they are regularly discussed and examined,

* Leadership benefits by catching operational issues when they are small, early on in the process,

* Leadership is able to maintain a constant “line of sight” into the ongoing operation of the organization.

So the question remains as to why any organization would avoid utilizing such a process. Does the extra work involved outweigh the potential benefits?

Reality tells us that organizations with a strong desire to lead their industry or market segment find the time to manage the execution of their business strategy, they make it a priority.

They understand the benefits of achieving their plan year after year and the value that accrues to them and the organization as a result.

Similar to Stephen Covey’s “urgent and important matrix” there are common activities that need to be done.

Should your organization’s “common activities” be changing?

We may be glad to head for the House of God, but I can remember my children not always feeling any joy, especially as teenagers. The Israelites, on the other hand, were happy to have a place of worship, where they could give thanks to God for all the times that they had been rescued from enemy nations. In today’s world, most of us can worship God in safety and so we take it for granted. In Sweden last year, a Catholic church was undergoing renovations and needed a place to hold its services so the Lutheran church in Lund, Sweden, allowed the Catholic parish to hold its services until the renovations were complete. When churches have been damaged, other churches step up and help out. In all of these situations, people are very grateful and are happy for the opportunity to worship God. Why is it that the churches aren’t full every Sunday? One of my friends who was pastor of a Congregational church was thrilled when he finally had enough children, ten, so that they could put on a Christmas pageant. Ten children! Another of my friends, a Baptist minister, had to allow another denomination to rent his church in order to pay the utility bills. Many of the churches in my area have part time ministers who work multiple churches to earn enough money to feed their families. We are so complacent. And yet, any time a church closes, there is an outcry. How did this happen, people ask. Of course the answer is that people aren’t attending and they’re not supporting their churches. If we want to turn this around, then we need to be the people who are glad to go up to the house of God and give him praise and glory.

Do you have a learning pattern? Do you have a learning corner? Is learning a part of you? Do you find comfort in learning engagements?

Welcome to this blog! During our kindergarten days we were positioned for learning. A ceramic seat and table, a long desk, and benches with the dummies and pebbles , one or two screen Tvs for lullabies etc..How  parents pay so much due to their busy schedules.

Later, we moved on to basics, primary, secondary, and institutions. Learning is a Journey!

After University, we seek for advance programs, post graduates, Masters and Doctorate degrees…. Very many dropped the learning journey at different stages of education for reasons best known to them.

Do we know that learning is a journey that is also endless? How are you positioned for learning as of today? A visit to a business workshop struck this in me…to get my learning position in my home.

Honestly, this never occurs to me that much, ever. I have been to homes of executives, and even accommodated in some affluence homes observed their study rooms with awards and furnished libraries, artifacts, thoughts images, photography, exposure etc… Oh! I crave to have such in the future.

Virtual learning and Remote working programs gave good insights on learning position and corners as an evidenced-based or provided by the company of engagement.

The visit to the workshop of a masonry, seeing the private desk corners for his records aside from the official work table, and observing his notes and memos blew my mind to have my learning and reading corner in my home either in the living room or bedroom.

The man said, once on that seat, I learn, develop, record, read, inscribe, and also conceive my new ideas. I longed to have a desk since that day and a day came that I drove along a road to discover this comfortable desk and seat for my private learning. 

How do you get inspired? The man inspired me even though am an instructor and manager for over years.

A private desk for learning is necessary in every home.. It instills continuous learning. Although, it boils down to interest and circumstance. Learning is interesting using this approach. We need to be motivated to learn because it develops us for the future like from the kindergarten stages. Learning is endless because it prepares you ahead of time.

What are you learning? What you learn matters. Do not leave learning mainly for the Academias. Learning is for everyone and for all stratas of life. Seek for a guide for your personal learning and development in all you do by getting your Private desk and seat.
