SuperCompetent: The Six Keys to Perform at Your Productive Best
This blog features Laura Stack – who is renowned for being The Productivity Pro®, a best-selling author, and a noted authority on personal productivity. She will be a keynote speaker at Pink23, the 26th International IT Service Management Conference and Exhibition being held at the incomparable Bellagio in Las Vegas from February 26-March 1, 2023.
Laura’s expertise is focused on helping individuals and organizations that struggle with productivity and are looking for ways to consistently improve performance.
Perhaps some of this sounds familiar:
- Your team is overwhelmed, distracted, and inefficient, with not enough hours to accomplish their tasks.
- Deadlines are being missed and balls are being dropped due to poor time management and follow-up systems.
- You’re paralyzed by an overwhelming inbox and to-do list.
- Execution is suffering because employees lack structure and an inability to quickly drive results.
If you and/or your organization are experiencing any of these difficulties, you are not alone…
Statistics on Productivity Loss in the Workplace
Statistics contained in Zippia’s 22 Time Management Statistics [2022] underscore workplace time management problems. Here are a few of them:
- The average employee spends 51% of every workday on low to no value tasks.
- Workplace distractions cost each employee an average of three hours per day.
- During an 8-hour workday, the average worker spends less than 4.25 hours actively working.
- 82% of people don’t have a time management system.
Yikes! Just imagine the increased productivity and, potentially, revenue that could be generated if workers were able to spend more of their workday actively working.
Fortunately, there’s a formula Laura has developed and honed over the past 30 years. Her comprehensive approach – known as the Productivity Workplace Formula – can help you overcome the above challenges. Laura will show you how to work differently so you can maximize productivity, strengthen performance, and get the job done right.
Laura’s innovative formula – contained within her book, SuperCompetent: The Six Keys to Perform at Your Productive Best, can help you organize your life around the tasks that really matter and let go of the ones that don’t. Her step-by-step system provides instructions on how to reduce your to-do list, reduce obligations, reduce distractions, reduce incoming information, reduce inefficiencies, and reduce your energy expenditures. Here are the six keys in Laura’s formula…
The Six Keys to Performing at Your Productive Best
Adopt and implement the behaviors described in the six keys below to become a SuperCompetent individual who’s able to consistently improve your performance, develop the confidence to propel yourself forward, and achieve breakthrough results in your career. The six keys are:
- Activity: Learn about the value and importance you place on your tasks and priorities.
- Availability: Acquire the ability to master your schedule and protect your time.
- Attention: Gain the capacity to focus intently and concentrate on critical activities.
- Accessibility: Utilize this skill to organize your workflow and quickly find information.
- Accountability: Enhance the extent to which you assume personal responsibility for your actions and outcomes.
- Attitude: Improve the intensity of your motivation, drive, and proactiveness.
Learning and applying the six keys will move you closer to becoming SuperCompetent. As detailed in her book, Laura describes the SuperCompetent individual as one who “companies fight to get, fight to keep, nurture as a team player, and see as a future leader in the business’ growth.” She also says, “SuperCompetence isn’t something you’re born with – it’s something you can learn, no matter where your strengths lie or what industry you work in.”
