• About/Bio

Welcome to “Getting Things Done” Blog.  I’ve been working in Public Affairs and Direct Marketing for well over 23 years.  During that time I’ve seen some good things and some bad.  But overall, I’ve seen that there is a huge disconnect in most companies between the thinkers who come up with a strategy and the “Doers” who are supposed to implement the plan.  Strategic plans are critical to business success, but coming up with a great plan is only the first step.  You have to implement.  You have to roll up your sleeves and work on getting things done.

This Blog is my attempt to help managers understand how they can apply basic project management skills, planning, executing, and measuring progress to help them achieve their business and professional goals.  I use stories spread out in short segments to keep the reader engaged while not taking too much time away from anybody’s ability to get their work done.  My hope is that by sharing these thoughts and experience that some readers will gain from it and enhance and grow their professional careers.

I want to hear from you.  Give me your feedback and ideas for topics that you would like a story to explore.  The best ideas will be singled out and discussed.  Please join me.  Subscribe to get the story delivered to you daily.  E-mail me at MMalik@Triad-com.com.
