#3: Dealing with the expected
Were you expecting to hear Dr Wally? If so, then you are probably now paying attention, because something unexpected has happened. I am obviously not Dr Wally.
Dealing with the unexpected is said to be the most difficult aspect of business life. My experience has taught me the opposite. The most difficult thing to manage is the expected. Let’s face it, business is boring. It’s the same nonsense over and over, day after day.
It’s like driving the same car on the same road to the same destination at the same time every day. You must do it. And if you take your eye off what you’re doing, bad things can happen.
The most successful managers I have worked with were the ones who had the discipline to focus on the same detail, over and over, day after day.
