Bring Energy and Enthusiasm\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you take on tasks and projects, do it with gusto.\u00a0 Truly enjoy your work.\u00a0 Make your efforts in some way… fun. We all like to do the things that we naturally have talent in.\u00a0 We love the things that fill us with pride and accomplishments.\u00a0 Getting things done is enjoyable.\u00a0 Enjoying things while you get them done may not always be easy.<\/p>\n

When working with others, make sure that you are not putting out negative vibes that bring everyone down.\u00a0 Not every task is exciting, but every task can be done with some measure of vigor.\u00a0 And when you approach each task with a positive outlook, it is contagious.\u00a0 People will like working with you.<\/p>\n

Working on exciting new projects gets everyone invigorated to do their best.\u00a0 It is not hard to get people involved in the fun, new and exciting efforts.\u00a0 A CAD Manager needs to move every project forward in such a manner as to make them inviting to others.<\/p>\n

No one likes to slog through boring tasks, but you can find ways to make them more enjoyable.\u00a0 Not every task expands your horizons.\u00a0 Not every project is a ground breaking effort. Here are a few tips that might help make boring into a blast and routine into rambunctious:<\/p>\n

Make each step a success.\u00a0<\/strong> Even when you have a large amount of redundant work, you can celebrate the milestones of getting 10% done.\u00a0 Then shoot for 25%.\u00a0 Then make the next 25% get done quicker.<\/p>\n

Find ways to automate.\u00a0<\/strong> Look for ways to make something that is drudgery into dynamics by automating some portion of the work.\u00a0 See how much you can script out or program into the software.\u00a0 See who can come up with the best idea for making things run faster.<\/p>\n

Make it a contest.\u00a0<\/strong> Divide the work among the team and make it a race (but don’t sacrifice quality). See who can move toward the goal in less time.\u00a0 See who can find and fix more errors.\u00a0 See who can duplicate successful methods on the grandest scale.<\/p>\n

Start conversations about the future.\u00a0<\/strong> When you get this job done, what can you do next.\u00a0 What is this fix or modification going to open the doors to? Can what you are working on actually boost your technology curve by opening other doors to high tech?<\/p>\n

Transfer the knowledge.\u00a0<\/strong> Define lessons learned and see how you might apply them to other areas of your work.\u00a0 Document the best of the best. Tell others what you are finding that might improve processes elsewhere.<\/p>\n
