Episode 62: The Effective Leader’s Focus
The effective executive gets the right results. Their focus is on output and outcomes, not inputs and work flow. How Effective Executive’s Focus on Opportunities: -They ensure that problems do not overwhelm opportunities. - They put their best people on opportunities rather than on problems. - Problem solving prevents damage, it doesn’t produce results. We become focused on problems and input rather than opportunities and outcomes because it’s easier. If you’re focused on outcomes you can work hard and still come to the conclusion that you contributed nothing. Seeing Opportunities: - Positioning for the future. - Seeing gaps in what is delivered today. - Knowing what improvements to make to maximize impact.
