Alan closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.

00:00:41

A few months ago he attended a time management training based

00:00:46

on the Eisenhower method which transformed his view of work.

He discovered the four quadrants.

00:00:52

The important and urgent quadrant used to focus

00:00:55

all his attention and fill his agenda.

00:00:58

After this training,

00:00:59

he chose to focus more on the quadrant of important but not urgent tasks,

00:01:04

taking care to integrate them into his schedule.

00:01:07

For him

00:01:08

it was essential to

00:01:09

reserve moments dedicated to reflection such as preparing his meetings,

00:01:15

set aside time to develop strategies to think about

00:01:18

more appropriate ways to proactively meet clients' needs.

Plan periods devoted to innovation,

00:01:24

whether through competitive intelligence or by giving free

00:01:27

rein to his imagination for product improvement.

00:01:47

00:01:54

proposing solutions before problems even arise

00:01:58

Allan is surprised and honored to receive a promotion.
