September 19th, 2016 update 1:
While I did take my computer home with me over the weekend, I did not turn it on until 5:30 this morning. A relative success for me.
Bwana Jeff - I intend to use the 80/20 primarily at meetings, especially with my peers in the office. With the State I believe I am already near the 80/20 goal, but in the FHWA office not so much. The context is strictly limited to work, and meeting in particular except for those meeting I have too lead....Johnson
These are the two leadership related behaviors that I am committing to for the near future:
1. Follow the 80/20 principle to listening. That is to listen 80% of the time and speak 20% of the time
the source is according to the web: In 1906, Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto created a mathematical formula to describe the unequal distribution of wealth in his country, observing that twenty percent of the people owned eighty percent of the wealth. In the late 1940's, Dr. Joseph M. Juran inaccurately attributed the 80/20 rule to Pareto, calling it Pareto's Principle. While it may be misnamed, can be a very effective tool to help you manage effectively
2. Manage my time and work life/balance more effectively. I will seek to work effectively at work and not work at home (on work) as has been my habit for the last 25 years.
