The Surprising Challenge Behind the Simplest Task You Thought You Could Master
Take a minute and reflect upon how well you do on follow through. Taking out a piece of paper and pen for an informal “Real Deal” quiz. Rate yourself on a scale from 1-5 (1 being the lowest, 5 being the highest).
- When you commit to writing a recommendation or review on LinkedIn, how often do you do it?
- When you promise to introduce colleagues for networking purposes, how quickly do you do it?
- After a conference, do you follow-up with new people that you meet?
- When a team member asks you for information, how many times does he have to remind you?
- If a sales person sends you a cold-call email, how often do you respond?
Chances are, you thought to yourself when reading this, “oh my goodness. I have room for improvement.” So no need for formal scoring!
