My typical day at work, is a combination of tactical and strategic actions. Keeping track of clients / prospects is a given. Every morning starts with sales team stand-up call to plan the day and prioritize work for all the deals in progress. Engagement for the rest of the day is based on a combination of the stand-up and “day-of-the-week” theme. The themes keep changing once in a quarter. Right now, the themes are Monday for Personal growth, Tuesday for one-on-one phone calls with clients/prospects, Wednesday for Delivery/Operations/Profitability, Thursday for Large Deals, Friday for Team development and 10X (repeatability). Having said that, I am always open to conversations with Mphasians and often spontaneously call them up when I come across something promising.

I start up my day with a quick “catch-up” on ongoing items, and a mind map of things that I may have to work on later that day. I begin with closing out what I call as “quick action works” and keep out the larger work items for slots that are free from meetings. When I have continuous meetings, my tablet is my mate and when I have meetings in the evening, I take up my meetings along with a walk. Before I wind up for the day, I do another “catch-up” just to ensure everything is closed out.
