Focus on Key Priorities

Leaders can be overly ambitious or worse -- fear narrowing the focus. Too many initiatives can result in a lack of sustained, effective action. Cutting scope reduces the number of possible wins and can feel like increasing risk. But cutting scope allows the entire team to focus intensely.

Scale Successes

Even with high performers, you may not reach success if everyone is going in different directions. But when the entire organization moves in one direction, it creates momentum and the ability to achieve your plans. Having a process or record, or a single planning and execution framework, makes it easier to build alignment.
