You don’t have to do everything right. You simply need to do the one thing that matters most. One thing at a time. Precision focus on what truly matters now creates enduring success over time. And successful leadership starts with both heightened self-knowledge and enriched understanding of others. Simply, people achieve results where they consistently place their attention. Attention is your vitality. It’s the resonance that connects you with others. It’s the energy that drives your performance.
By focusing on the one thing that will have the greatest impact, you’ll be far more effective than if you attempt to moderately improve in multiple areas. Extraordinary results are directly determined by where you place your attention, and what action you take.
When you find the calm amidst the clutter and chaos, you can focus on what matters most. And be single-minded in your drive for deep change. Once you’ve achieved your desired outcome, then you’re ready to move on to the next most important thing.
