Distractions

There will always be distractions.

Opportunities, details, problems, crisis, tragedy, can pull our focus and attention from what we should be doing. (Details? Sometimes our focus on the minutiae replaces the purpose for them.)

What should we be doing? Only that which takes us closer to our Vision - our purpose.

Great leaders:

  1. Relentlessly ensure that everyone has absolute understanding and clarity of the Vision.
  2. Put every distraction into proper perspective, and continually refocus and reset energy and efforts back toward the Vision.

Some leaders entertain and/or are the creators of distractions. This is why they never become "Great" leaders.

They frustrate.
