Deal with what is Important

What is important?

Leaders set priorities on the important stuff and the difficult stuff instead of avoiding it or being too busy to deal with it.  Setting priorities is a constant to ensure what is important gets done.  

Who decides what is important?

There are many influencers to push their agenda forward as most important.   These can be from within your team and outside your team.   The leader needs to focus and have a discipline to steer the team to prioritize the important items.

Reacting and over-reacting is a common strategy, however, it usually is not the best one in the long-run.

How do you move important tasks forward?

Lead by example.  Communicate to your team what is important and what is required by reviewing the overall goal.   Be firm to ensure the team remains focused.

Remember it's all important stuff and it's up to the leader to prioritize, focus and stay on track.

How are you determining what is important on your Team?
