Earlier today I read a blog post by Mike Shipulski titled “If you can be one thing, be effective“. It was a really short and to the point. The crux of the matter is the following:
Being effective trumps being efficient or productive!!
The insight behind all of these assertions is that being productive or efficient at the wrong things only leads to waste. So, Efficiency or productivity or speed comes after we become effective at what we aspire to do. This creates a significant question that needs an answer.
Do we know or have the clarity of what we aspire to achieve?

Good leaders come up with the answer to this question and communicate it with passion and influence.
Great leaders create a culture where the teams come up with the answer to this question and start working towards a solution.
