Process has really been Subject of the year here at 2-pros. We talk about it as it applies to sales, individuals, even teams. The conversation most often centers on the creation and growth of a process and how focus on that process is integral to success.
That begs the question, what exactly is a process at it applies to career development?
Process in this context, we believe, is the approach that a person takes to their professional responsibilities. It is organic. It lives and breathes. It encompasses the person's personality, talents, experiences, motivation, education, and capabilities. It accounts for environmental obstacles. It incorporates the needs and expectations of the organization. Process then becomes the person. A well defined process defines the person's career.
With this understanding, we feel that the cultivation and development of a process needs to be a top priority for any career to reach new levels.
Questions of the day - what is your process? How well defined is your approach to your day? How well do you direct your daily calendar to systematically meet daily objectives? Can you describe your process to someone who doesn't understand the efforts required to meet those objectives?

To me it's all about creating a habit, setting a pace, and measuring it daily. Once you create the habit you're not starting at zero every day. Pace means steady every day not bursts and pitfalls. Bursts and pitfalls are exausting and a bad waste of time. I have to measure myself like a batting average in baseball. If I don't compete against myself to better myself then I'm going backwards. I find myself competing internally against the best team member I work with and when I beat her/him then I find another person on another team to beat and so on.
