Good afternoon,
Focus on FOCUS!
"If You Don't Know Where You're Going, You Might Wind up Someplace Else."
- Yogi Berra
Few things in business matter as much as leaders staying focused on the few (2 or 3 at the most) critical factors in the success of their business.
Here's
Joe Scarlett
, retired CEO of Tractor Supply Company, discussing the importance of this focus.
It's very easy for business leaders to get distracted by minutia. That clouds his/her communication with the team, and the team members will be more confused than the leader.
Confused leaders and teams accomplish very little.
Prospects and customers have trouble figuring out what to expect from the company, so they're reluctant to buy anything.
That's why a mission statement is so important. Done right, it's a tool to help the leader stay focused.
He or she can then offer focused direction to the team, using the mission statement as a communication tool.
And a good mission statement is great for helping prospects and customers understand what to expect from the organization.
If you stay focused on your company's primary mission and important results, your company is well on its way to success. Without that focus, it's a low-odds crapshoot.
Have a great day!
