So you tweak/modify/change the plan to make it conducive to the then set of circumstances and so, the plan was not entirely S.M.A.R.T. in the first place? (Hence <I>dis</I>proved)<BR/>Additionally, sticking to your plan may mean letting go of alternative career options (read better opportunities).<BR/><BR/>However, natural progression takes people to "their levels of incompetence", which implies that to grow more (read earn more) learning needs to continue, a necessary condition;<BR/>hence my smart action plan is to always learn and share wherever, whenever and however,"Knowledge shared is knowledge gained too".Anandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08667226247608434315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28077497.post-52134232432901009832008-06-30T00:07:00.000+03:002008-06-30T00:07:00.000+03:00@Sane Insane - That was really something!!You have...@Sane Insane - That was really something!!You have a bold spirit. I admire that.<BR/><BR/>As for me - I rolled the ball in their court asking them how are they planning to resolve the issues currently facing the organization (more than one issue, of course!) & my team in specific(Mostly all my team is out by this year - greener pastures , marriage , relocation to native country etc etc).<BR/>Anyway when they started acting defensive , I felt guilty. So i asked them to help me evaluate my options for my long term plan - role, country etc etc.<BR/><BR/>And you see,it all turned out well!!Paradox Philichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00530652994043269281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28077497.post-69778900367016491322008-06-29T23:58:00.000+03:002008-06-29T23:58:00.000+03:00I can probably understand your predicament.In my l...I can probably understand your predicament.<BR/><BR/>In my last role as a CEO, i was summoned by my Board for the annual review. Among others, i was asked a similar question as where do i see myself and the Org in the next 3 years. To be honest, I had no idea!<BR/><BR/>So i told my board instead, that in 3 years, I will sitting in the chair heading the board, and will devise new ways of reviewing director's performances annually, and will also be holding important shares in the company. Well the Chairman laughed and others were silent. <BR/><BR/>the directors took their revenge by turning down my next 6 proposals for expansion. <BR/><BR/>So how did it go paradox for you today?Sane Insanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035658034829699163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28077497.post-77446479896334497082008-06-29T22:44:00.000+03:002008-06-29T22:44:00.000+03:00@Sue - It could have probably worked if i was as y...@Sue - It could have probably worked if i was as young as you.

Confuse them if you can't convince them. Use big words and look at the cieling convincingly when you speak. Works for me sometimes. :)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00823170262421816530noreply@blogger.com
