Listening to yourself and taking quick action as per that

To listen to yourself, you have to develop a good relationship with yourself. Never scold yourself. If you make a mistake, instead of blaming yourself, analyze it, consult it with yourself, agree with yourself on how to proceed. 

Your inner self usually tells you what to do, but often time we ignore him or are too shy to act as per the advice of our inner self. I feel this is one of the differences between successful and unsuccessful people.

Successful people listen to themselves and act promptly as per that vs the other one’s either don’t listen or don’t act as per that or both.

Make a habit of listening to yourself and immediately acting as per that. Try from today. If your inner voice tells you to talk to somebody, go ahead and do it. Practice following your inner voice little by little. Show your inner-self that you respect him and follow him. Make him(yourself) your best friend.

Organization Design

If you are an independent BU owner and have the responsibility to design your own organization, you should list down what is important, what is critical, what is it that you must deliver as a BU owner? Keep only those top level responsibilities with yourself and delegate all others. This is how you should design your organization.

Otherwise, if you yourself take less or more responsiblity, you will either don't know what is happening in your BU (in case you take less responsibility) or will be so overloaded(in case you take more responsibility) that you will not know what is happening outside of your organization.
