YOUR WORK TEAM


Pull the ONE Thing into your work with others. Whether you’re a
manager, executive, or even a business owner, bring ONE Thing
thinking into your everyday work situations to drive productivity
upward. Here are some scenarios to consider.


In  any meeting ask,    “What’s the ONE Thing   we  can accomplish
in this meeting and end early... ?
In building your team ask, What’s the ONE Thing I can do in the
next six months to find and develop incredible talent... ?
In planning for the next month, year, or five years ask, What’s
the ONE Thing we can do right now to accomplish our goals
ahead of schedule and under budget... ?
In your department or at the highest company level ask, What’s
the ONE Thing we can do in the next 90 days to create a ONE
Thing culture... ?

Again, these are merely examples to get you thinking about the
possibilities. And, just as in your personal life, once you’ve decided
what matters most, professional time blocking becomes your way of
making sure it gets done. At work, this is usually about either a short-
term project you must complete or an ongoing long-term activity
you’re committed to doing repeatedly. No matter, an appointment
with yourself is the surest path to ensuring you achieve extraordinary
results.
Casual open discussions or short in-house workshops around key
concepts in the book might really help everyone at work find their
own understanding and get on the same page.
