Summary of Dennis Guzik's Podcast on Planning
Hi folks, I'm Dennis Guzik, the old jarhead, here to give you great career advice to help you progress in your career. Today, we're discussing the importance of planning and how it can be a key to your success.
Key Points:
- Planning is essential for complex tasks that can't be handled instinctively. Simple tasks like making a ham sandwich don't require a plan, but hosting a large dinner does.
- In the Marine Corps, Dennis learned structured planning as a war planner, helping to deal with potential threats to the US.
- When to plan: You need a plan when the task is too complex to wing it.
Components of a Simple Plan:
- Tasks (Scope): Identify what needs to be done.
- Timeline (Schedule): Ensure there's enough time to complete tasks or adjust as needed.
- Resources (Budget): Make sure you can afford to do what you plan.
Example of a Dinner Plan:
- Tasks: Shopping, cooking, serving.
- Timeline: Shopping the day before, cooking in order to finish all components simultaneously.
- Resources: Budget for the meal.
Benefits of Planning:
- Clarifies complexity: Planning forces you to think through a task, revealing its true complexity.
- Adaptability: A plan allows you to adapt to changes and request necessary resources from your boss.
- Guidance for others: Having a plan helps guide the actions of others involved, increasing the likelihood of success.
Additional Insights:
- Primary and implied tasks: Identify primary tasks and any additional tasks they imply (e.g., making a menu, prepping food, setting the table).
- Timeline organization: Spread out tasks if you're working alone and ensure they align with deadlines.
- Resource management: Cost out each required item and adjust if necessary.
Final Thoughts:
- Plan to succeed: "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." Planning is crucial for career success.
- Further reading: Check out Dennis's book, "Find a Job that Fits Your Life," for more on planning in your career.
Call to Action: Take Dennis's advice, make a plan, and watch your career thrive. Thanks for listening
