A different Perspective
As a leader, “When you pick the right priority, it doesn’t matter if you do it well or not.”
“Doing the correct thing poorly is worth more than executing the wrong things perfectly.”
I dropped half the things I was working on, and a few months later, charts were going up and to the right again.
Low-order things that leaders commonly get stuck on:
- Arguing over design and typos
- Over-coaching poor performers
- Constantly watching your competitors
Examples of high-order Things:
- Picking the right go-to-market strategy
- Aligning the team around priorities
- Recruiting great people for leadership
If your team is working hard, but it feels like you're going in circles, ask yourself whether you're prioritizing the highest-order bit.
Do the right things wrong is greater than Doing the wrong things right
