Agile is an investment: an investment in attention and time that releases productive energy. Energy is limited and needs to be refuelled at times. People-centric management builds on a good balance of the use of energy and the investment in energy. Here is a test for you to use to gauge where you are with your energy.
Mark the answers that fit your situation:
BODY
- I don’t regularly have enough sleep, and I often wake up tired
- I often skip meals or don’t eat sufficiently
- I don’t do perform sufficient physical activities
- I don’t take frequent breaks to renew my energy
MIND
- I have difficulty focusing on one thing and am often interrupted
- I spend a large portion of the day reacting on crises or short-term requests
- I don’t take sufficient time for learning, thinking and fun things
- I often work long hours and don’t take vacation
EMOTIONS
- I often feel irritated, impatient or limited by stress
- I don’t have sufficient time for important relationships I have little time for my favourite activities
- I use little time to relax and enjoy my performance
SPIRIT
- I don’t spend time on work that uses all my talents
- What I consider important is not where I spend my time, attention and energy
- My work is determined by others rather than following my purpose
- I don’t invest sufficient time and energy for social engagement
