Don’t be afraid to treat your life like a small corporation! Many organizations go through the process of interviewing and hiring candidates who are able to bring value to the company. They have a specific set of responsibilities that accompany job descriptions within the group they are hiring for. Several candidates submit resumes outlining their qualifications for open positions. Typically, most people look awesome on paper because they are able to highlight their accomplishments and polished backgrounds. However, the interview process allows hiring managers to drill down deeper into the details of a person’s resume and assess whether there is any substance behind the many accomplishments they have highlighted.
Similarly, we should all value our lives in the same way companies’ value productive, innovative, supportive and profitable employees. The people you allow into your life should serve a purpose and add value. This DOES NOT mean that each person should have a to-do list associated with their affiliation with your life. However, they should fall into the category of encourager, mentor, teacher, confidant, accountability partner, or other value-add group.
Take time to carefully interview those who come into your life. Make sure you ask the right ‘interview’ questions that will help you determine if someone is a good ‘fit’. Don’t be misled, just because you interview someone doesn’t mean you have to hire him/her. Also, remember that you have the authority to terminate people associated with your life. Don’t apologize; just understand that oftentimes a change of direction is required for progress to take place.
Spring is quickly approaching, so now is a good time to conduct annual reviews for the people occupying seats in your life!
