Fantastic. Keep your eyes on the core. Focus on what you can control. Do what you can to keep things moving forward. Full speed ahead! I just love this stripped down explanation of what a good leader looks like.

How often do we see people in leadership positions tinkering the details, micromanaging and spending more time planning emergency landings than takeoffs, huh?

(answer: too often)

That’s a great little crash course on quality leadership. The idea of a core focus is particularly attractive, by the way. You need to know what the trees look like, but you also need to keep an eye on the forest.

Excellent. Focusing on a few specific things that you can actually influence becomes more and more important the higher a leader goes. The more focused a leader is, the more impact he or she can actually make.

Good article,

Yes, yes, yes -I am focussed on the next important move on my chess board. I love the game of chess as a metaphor to business in the sense that, like you said, focusing on the core -and being aware of the fringe. Thank you for your wisdom.

Great post Paul… a great insight and reminder into the world of successful leaders.
I’m one who finds it easy to become distracted by ’side projects’ and lose focus on the bigger picture, which in turn impacts on momentum.

Keep em coming!
