Challenge

When work effort isn't in sync with a person's life values and priorities, it's easy to be busy on less meaningful matters. Even technologies devised to mobilize and liberate can paralyze us in an avalanche of data and clutter. So instead of focusing on and responding proactively to what's truly important, employees become distracted and feel pressure to react to situations perceived as urgent.

Solution

It's a true statement. When people's daily activities align with their highest priorities, they have a credible claim to better performance, higher achievement, and peace of mind. FranklinCovey's FOCUS: Achieving Your Highest Priorities™ workshop presents powerful principles that help participants identify and clarify their values, set goals, and plan weekly and daily in order to accomplish what counts. What's more, they gain an enduring, values-based foundation for everything they do.
