Becoming a Corporate Athlete: Saying Yes Means Saying No
When feeling overwhelmed, stressed or unhappy with how a task or project is going, we often default to a go-to response that author Amy Jen Su refers to as “The Pitfalls of Doing” in her book, The Leader You Want to Be: Five Essential Principles for Bringing Out Your Best Self--Every Day. We’ll review the four pitfalls (I’ll just do it, I’ll just do it now, I’ll just do it myself, I’ll just do it later) and focus on how to set boundaries accordingly.
