Quadrant2 [sic]

6/22/2022

0 Comments

 
Colleagues,

​This fall we are beginning a new way to support my favorite group of leaders – assistant principals. It is a bi-weekly micro-journal that focuses each issue on a single small topic with strategies and suggestions for implementation. Our topics will be narrow, and the amount of information will be lean. Hence the designation “micro-journal.” 
 
The name you ask? We are calling it Quadrant2.
Quadrant 2 of the Eisenhower Matrix is where growth happens – both individual and organizational. If you aren’t operating in quadrant 2, you aren’t growing.
 
Quadrant 1 is the survival quadrant – if you don’t take care of Q1 then bad things will happen.
 
Quadrant 3 is the trap quadrant. It pretends to be quadrant 1, hoping that in your hurry you won’t notice that the urgent tasks you are doing actually aren’t important. Quadrant 3 leads to stagnation.

Quadrant 4 I rarely talk about because it is neither important nor urgent. However, that doesn’t mean that it isn’t a distraction. What is quadrant 4? Social media. Connecting with people is important, but similar to how Quadrant 3 masquerades as quadrant 1, quadrant 4 masquerades as quadrant 2. It pretends to be important, like real friendships and real connections are. But social media isn’t real, and it isn’t important. Sorry, that’s a bit of a rant.
​
Here are the critical points:
  • We must take care of Q1
  • When we are intentional, we can skip Q3 and invest in Q2
  • Q2 is where real growth happens
 
If you are interested in learning more about Quadrant2 (the micro-journal) you can read about it here.

Cheers!
