Where CEOs a decade ago may have had five choices, they have 100 - and because they're under more scrutiny, they're more pressured to be visible and make themselves available.
Richard Wellins
I hear it over and over (and over) again from top executives:
- I'm too busy!
- I can't concentrate on ______ right now!
- I'll get to that once this crisis is over!
Unfortunately, when the current crisis is over, another one will take its place. What's a CEO to do?
The answer is simple. The execution requires commitment and discipline:
- Say "no".
- Say "no".
- Keep saying "no" until you create a block of time for reflection and strategic thinking.
- Decide what deserves a "yes".
- Ditch or delegate everything that does not deserve a "yes".
- Repeat.
