Bart: [looking up from his book] I'm reading. Lisa: No way. [looks at book cover] The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Pre-Teens? Is this all because of the ... [pantomimes gulping pills, and then walking like a zombie] Bart: Joke if you will, but did you know most people use 10% of their brains? I am now one of them. Before, my energy was all over the place. Now, it's concentrated like a laser beam. [stands up] Well, this has been terrific. Let's do it again sometime. Lisa: Are you standing up to get me to leave? Bart: It's from the book. Lisa: [reads] Hey, I'm not a time burglar. Bart: [types in electronic organizer] Memo to self: Lock door. Lisa: All right, I'll go. You don't have to be a jerk about it. Bart: [types] Memo to self: Shut up, Lisa. Lisa: Grrr! [leaves]

Another type of time-challenged employee who can appear at first glance to be a dream come true is the people pleaser. While the vast majority of us want to be helpfuland let's face it, anyone who constantly says no will quickly be shown the doorthis doesn't alter the fact that saying yes all the time is highly dysfunctional. When a person chronically takes on more and more responsibilities out of a fear of confronting authority, he will inevitably commit too much of his time to unproductive projectsfor instance, he will sit on a project that he should have passed on to someone else much earlier. In the workplace, the people pleaser often resorts to time abuse to vent her anger. For example, she agrees to take on a task she doesn't want and then devotes obsessive attention to its minutest details. Although this form of overcompliance can win approval from others, unchecked it can lead to conflicts with the very authority figures she is endeavoring to please. People pleasers are the worst! |
