Parts 0,1, and 2 of the Acumen virtual bootcamp series can be found here.
The sessions are really good so far. Individuals are more open to ideas and suggestions and want to demonstrate an interest in getting up to speed. I am sharing the task I performed this week.
1. Superpower: There is an article by Seth Godin: What is your superpower? When do you come alive? I have documented my superpowers below:
a. I always document best practices and professional understanding on a topic through a blog. This has facilitated the creation of an institutional memory bank and drawing insights while walking on the road less traveled.
b. I enjoy a diverse range of literature, blogs, cinema, and interacting with different social circles. This gives me a range of knowledge that extends far beyond my chosen profession. I assume that investment in specialization in one area alongside a vast body of knowledge can be a powerful driver of original thought.
These superpowers have given me the ability to have a good outreach to a diverse group of stakeholders and impacted leaders in designing realistic plans. I usually come alive while volunteering for a cause and building networks of like-minded people.
2. Improvement Goals: I have to identify my improvement Goal: “If you could get better at ONE THING — the One Big Thing that would make the greatest difference to your happiness and effectiveness, what would that be?” My responses: a. Be a much better husband than I am. b. To not be committed to a task in a hurry and, once committed to a task, complete it before / on time.
I know this intuitively because I haven't been trying to get better at or change for a while. And, I have heard this from family and colleagues in the feedback/reviews.
3. Reflection on the article How will you measure your life? by Clayton M. Christensen, Kim B. Clark Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School.
I have thought about the metric by which my life will be judged. I am an enthusiast, not an expert. At the age of thirty-four, I had realized that what I do will be insignificant, but that will define me. Curiosity and Enthusiasm are the forces that have not changed with time. What is more difficult to tackle in life? As for me, I always ponder over dilemmas rather than questions. Because there is always financial insecurity, family disputes, and chaos lurking around the corner. The immediate needs always have a tussle with long-term goals.
