Long Term Planning verse Short term Planning

Posted by: Leigh Paulden | Thursday 29 September 2011

I was talking with a company today about why is it they are not achieving the results they desire and yet are always really busy. What became apparent during the discussion was there was real direction and once again it reminded me of something that Steven R. Covey said relating to taking control of your time and this I believe is so very true.

*I find that most people do not do long term planning, rather they plan for the very short-term and because of it, are driven by the urgent.

Do you have along term plan place so you focus on the important?*

I see many businesses that do not have a long term plan and therefore can not tell me what is important for their company. Would they be doing the urgent if they new what was important? May be not.

Do you have a long term plan 10 - 20 years out?

Are you focusing on the important?
