Managing Energy
(Execution Excellence -"Ability to get things done" Series)
As we discuss the art of getting things done in the workplace, managers/ leaders must organize themselves effectively.
We have discussed some elements of self-organization like Time Management, Managing expectations, being focused and Building Trust.
The next important element in self-organizing is Managing Energy.
Managing Energy is all about how we are well-being physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Why is managing Energy essential?
All energies are interrelated.
When we do not manage any one of the energy levels, it will affect other energy. Eventually, it will affect the performance and execution capabilities. For example, when we are not well physically due to some pain, it affects us emotionally as feeling low, mentally we are not in a position to concentrate on anything, and we disconnect from our purpose (spiritually).
Energy is contagious.
When you observe people with high energy levels, they always display a pleasing appearance, say a smiling face, firm tone, straight posture, and present themselves with enthusiasm. We also tend to be at a high energy level in their presence. That is why when we attend any motivational training program, the trainer displays high energy, and we are also at a high energy level. After the program, we return to our natural energy level and seek a similar energizing experience.
In a professional context, when the leader is not at a high energy level and displays a lack of enthusiasm in walking, talking, and carrying out routines, the followers also lose their energy.
No one would like to work with a lousy person with low energy levels.
You may relate to your experience with some people.
I have worked with one very charismatic, soft, and firm-spoken boss, always with enthusiasm. Everyone liked to work with him, and i never said no to him when he assigned some tasks. Relatively, he used to get things done easily. He was respected by all and quite successful in his career. The one thing i can attribute to his success is his highly energetic, enthusiastic, and influential power in the workplace.
From this perspective, maintaining a high energy level and being active are essential.
Let us discuss some practical ways people enhance their energy levels next week.
Have a great week ahead!
