Management Attention is the ultimate limitation for the growth of a business. What we can get management to pay attention to is what will be driven throughout the organization.

A good plan executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next month.

I have never learned anything by talking.

One reason CEO roles are so draining: There's no boss to give you positive reinforcement for good work.

Ideas/Strategy/Plans without execution are worthless

If everything is important, then nothing is.

If you don't have time to do it right the first time, when will you have time to redo it? #leadership

Most companies have a better process in place for reimbursing a $10 burrito than they have for making multi-million dollar strategic investment decisions.

What Leaders Do > What Leaders SAY #leadership

Spend less time giving your opinions and more time seeking the opinions of others.

It’s easy to make things hard. It’s hard to make things easy.

If you ignore it, you condone it.

Tell me this: do you have an actual plan if it’s not written down?

How the Idea of Focus translates to Strategic Planning Focus is such an often misunderstood concept. People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying "No" or "Not now" to 100 other good ideas that compete with attention in order to create the space to get the really GREAT idea done as fast as possible. And get the benefit that it brings QUICKLY. If it is such a great idea, why would we want to wait or compete with idea #2 or #10 by not saying No or Not Now to those? Get the #1 Strategic Initiative executed "as fast as possible" and take the business benefit from it (you are doing this to impact net profit, right?) and use that to snowball to the next. Rinse & Repeat.

Leadership is: Being impeccable with your word. Following through. If you say you are going to do something, you do it. Believing the Best vs Assuming the Worst of your people and situations Hiring the Best and getting out of the way for people to do what they do best

Leadership is not about "being right". It's about helping the team "get it right".

Sales leaders can't be better than the product they're selling.
