How to Enhance your Effectiveness

Every day is a busy day; there isn’t a day when people don’t go about their business for a variety of reasons, but one sticks out: as a source of income. Employees are encouraged to offer their all in every organization. We won’t be able to accomplish everything we want unless we are committed to improving our efficiency. Personal effectiveness necessitates the utilization of our abilities and talents in conjunction with the resources available to us in order to achieve our objectives.

Here are traits that will ensure you become highly efficient;

Determination

This is the first step to personal effectiveness. The importance of determination cannot be overstated. Determination ensures you overcome yourself and challenges; thus, allowing you to focus on achieving your goals.

Self-confidence

To truly become self-confident is to first become aware of who you are. Be very sincere in identifying what your challenges, weaknesses and strengths are. Becoming self-aware ensures you understand the relationship between your actions and their consequences. Self-confidence is developed through having a clear understanding of your capabilities. You cannot become effective if you don’t have confidence in your abilities or trust yourself.

Optimism

As much as it is important to have a balance between pessimism and optimism, personal effectiveness, as a rule, requires that you must believe that there is much to achieve and a purpose to pursue. Be optimistic about your goals; also having a positive image of your life helps build determination and self-confidence.

Persistence

Persistence only works in a determined mind. “There’s light at the end of a tunnel” isn’t a lazy man’s quote but a persistent man’s belief. You will never succeed if you leave once you fail. Highly effective individuals have learnt to surmount challenges and learn from mistakes while maintaining focus. The reason why many are busy with nothing, tasting every water without any progress is that they don’t plan, hence, have no lesson to learn when they fail. This leads us to the next step to personal effectiveness.

Planning  

The ability to plan is one of the best traits of highly effective individuals. With a plan, you can go back to the drawing board when you fail to learn why you failed and how you can make adjustments that will ensure success. With a plan you can repeat success, therefore, success will not be accidental.

Self-motivation

There’s no effectiveness without motivation. How you derive your motivation also matters; finding motivation within yourself is vital to staying motivated. Self-motivation is a driving factor to other traits of highly effective individuals; you cannot truly achieve anything without motivation. Motivation takes you out of your comfort zone and keeps you determined.
