Have you ever felt stuck in your career? Believe it or not, you are not alone. Today’s guest, Jerry L. Esselstein, is here to help.
Jerry is well known for successfully advising countless business leaders in the areas of personal development, accountability, and organizational improvement for the past 15 years. On today’s episode of unsuitable on Rea Radio, he shares why creating a 90-day rolling plan is an essential first step toward getting unstuck and taking control of your career.
It’s easy to be busy, but not necessarily productive, especially when we are immersed in the day-to-day work. Unfortunately, the daily grind isn’t adding any value to the company or our own careers. The good news is that you can take control and add more value just by creating a structured plan that aligns your work with your future goals and your organization’s mission.
“The key to an individual is not what they can process and do. It’s that they are a thought leader and they are working towards the larger goals of the organization.”
–Jerry L. Esselstein
On this episode, you’ll discover that:
- A 90-day rolling plan is not a to-do list.
- Once a plan is in place, you must allocate time to focus on your objectives.
- Objectives don’t have to be completed within those 90 days. But when you do complete a particular objective, remove it from your list and add a new one.
- You must write your plan down and keep it top-of-mind.
Business Owners: 90-day rolling plans are most effective when they are implemented at an organizational level, and a cultural level. When teams share their 90-day plans, they can hold each other accountable and support each other. Listen to this episode of unsuitable on Rea Radio to find out if this strategy is right for you.
