As a leader, we need to learn how to pay attention. WE could either pay attention like a laser beam (hyper – focused) or like a torch (Exploratory).
How we spend our attention determines what we see and therefore how we react. Neither is the right or wrong approach.
In order to become leaders worth following, we need to learn when to pay attention like a laser beam and when to do it as a torch.
There is only appropriate level of focus for a given situation in a given context towards a given goal.
This ability to be able to move from paying attention like a laser to a torch and vice versa based on the need is key in us becoming leaders worth following.
As someone very wise once said – “Where our attention flows, there our energy flows”!
