REFLECT on the following quote from FOCUS
“To protect the core, leaders must 'sift through the clutter' in order to 'apply disproportionate pressure in a few selected areas.' This 'lopsided focus' fuels people's productivity, creativity, and morale. Less is more." pg.15
Leaders must be seen as clarifiers, focusers, ‘keepers of the core’ who incessantly ‘cut through the cutter...to distinguish between what is merely important and what is imperative...those few things you must never forget’.” pg 15
