Take Back Control Of Your Work Quickly And Easily!
Are you overwhelmed by all the work you have to do?
Are you being asked to do more than you can possibly get done?
Do you have the feeling that you are always behind?
The fact is, the amount of work people are asked
to do in today's organization is out of control. If you are like
most people, you have a "To Do" list that is as long as the New
York City phone book. Well, maybe not that large, but close.
How bad is it really? Well, a study conducted by
an engineering company found that they had 3.5 times more work to
do than they had engineers to do it. Imagine. For every one thing
an engineer was doing, there were three other things that were suppose
to be doing, but weren't.
And not only are people being asked to do more, they
are being asked to do it faster. Perhaps you have noticed that people
seem to want everything "Now!" So not only do people have more to
do, they have less time in which to do it? Sound familiar?
There Is Something YOU Can Do About It!
Well, there is something YOU can do about it. No,
really there is. It is actually possible for you to reduce the number
of things you have to do and increase the time in which you have
to do them. That's right. You can reduce the length of your "To
Do" list while increasing the time you have for getting things done.
You can take back control of your work and you can do it quickly
and easily.
How? By learning to say "No" in a way that really
works.
Wait! Hear Us Out.
Most people are waiting for someone else to change
things. You know, like adding more people, bringing in new technology,
or making some other changes that will reduce the work load and
stress.
Well, they aren't going to. The truth is, if you
want to get control of your work, you are going to have to do it
yourself. You can not count on others to do it for you. And one
of the most powerful ways to take control is learning how to say
"No" - even to bosses.
But You Can't Just Come Out and Say "No!"
Everyone knows you can't just come out and say "No"
to people, particularly a boss. If you do, you are likely to be
seen as rude, insubordinate, difficult, or any number of other things.
And you definitely can't say "No" without a good reason. "I don't
have the time", even though it might be true, is not a good enough
reason because we have no way to prove it. And if you fudge the
truth (lie), you could be found out and that can be even more damaging.
You have to be able to say "No" politely and in a
way that makes it clear you are not trying to be difficult. You
have to be able to say "No" in a way that people actually respect
and admire you afterward. You have to be able to Say No Powerfully
and be able to say it to anyone, even bosses.
Saying No Powerfully Is Not What You Think
Clearly there is more to saying no powerfully than
simply yelling or screaming "No!" at people. In fact, when you say
no powerfully, people learn you are serious about your ability to
deliver what they are asking for. That's worth reading again.
Saying No Powerfully is not about trying to get out
of work, though you will have fewer things to do. And, its not about
trying to take it easy, though you will find you are less stressed
because you have more time in which to do things. It is about telling
people the truth about what you can and will deliver. And, its about
working with bosses as a partner so they get what want even if its
not from you.

to. The result is that some things don't get done. But there is
a real cost to doing this.
- How to use the SINGLE most effective tool

- The BEST way to say No to a boss is a counteroffer.
Learn how to make counteroffers that turn you into a partner for

Its Worked for Others, It Will Work for You
"I did what you recommended and scheduled the
things I had to do. Shortly after doing that, my boss asked me to
do something new. At first I was hesitant to say anything, but then
told her I would be happy to do it if she would help me figure out
what other things could be delayed. Her first reaction was "Nothing",
but then as we talked about it, and I showed her my schedule, she
realized that some things really could be rescheduled, and we made
the necessary changes. It was the first time I had any real sense
of being in control of my work." Eric Jacobson, MCI
"Whenever someone would ask me
to do something, I would say yes and then later try to figure out
when to do it. I wanted to be nice to people and do what they asked,
but it was making me miserable. Then, as you suggested, I tried
making a counteroffer to see if I could get more time for doing
things. What a surprise. The first person I tried it with accepted.
Rather than the work being done on their time table, it was being
done on mine. I now use counteroffers all the time and have a much
easier time getting things done." Neal Arivas, Nationwide
