The Image above shows a little diagram regarding Importance and Urgency.
This are issues we face at work, uni and whatever activities we face in our lives and how we deal with it.
The reason i had this done was due to that fact i faced a big issue at work whereby it lead to a big scenario.
Below the little diagram i've managed to to give a clear and simple illustration and short sentence and to get a clear picture of what i mean.
Few months ago during an event a lady spilt her glass of Beauchet- pink sparkling wine, she slipped and had a severe accident and this resulted in blaming the company as we then had to compensate her.
In this case i hereby state that where ever we are especially in a work environment, freelance job at home we have to show concern to those who come to us for whatever reason and be alert to our surrounding especially for a hazard.
In our everyday life's we see things and we do not pay attention to it if it my cause a hazard. For an example if there was a sparkling wine spilt on the floor above the diagram which i wrote it's Urgent very important and i do it Now.
Ok I see the issues are important, but how do you balance 'urgent' with 'important"? How do you practically decide on what to prioritise?
ReplyDeletewell i cannot balance urgent and importance at the same time.
ReplyDeletefor an example if am running a function and my main organiser slips on the floor and a guest drops a glass i as a person will run to my organiser first despite both are important.
the reason i would run to my organiser is because she is my main contact she is the first priority and she has and owns the day regardless.
and as for the guest that dropped the glass i couldn't easily call for someone over the radio to resolve the issue with immediate effect and check if he or she is absolutely hundred percent fine.
but in some cases it could be the other way round some times it depends on a certain case but as an event manager and person who has to be aware of health and safety you would instantly know what comes first automatically
