Focus on the Essential
Published on April 30th, 2009.
Jay, my classmate in college is now the head of an organization. He wants to lead by creating a positive image of his organization for his industry partners. Unfortunately, Jay has a tendency to do micro-management in all sectors of his company and ends up dictating decisions that his mid-level administrators should be doing.
But whenever a course of action does not go the way he wants it, Jay blames everyone except himself. Soon enough, his subordinates began to feel a sense of incompetence and their morale started to deteriorate. Jay eventually lost his influence over his people and their commitment as well.
Why? Because Jay lost focus of what was essential: His leadership.
