“you will never find time for anything. If you want time you must make it.”
Charles Burton
In order to be a great leader you must know the difference between urgent and vital, as they are not equivalent terms.
Every day you will discover tasks that need your attention.
Great leaders are those who choose the ones that are truly important to a common goal for success.
They choose tasks that are vital to their team’s mission of success while also linking the core values and end purpose of the organization to the importance of the task.
“Life is a series of experiences, each of which makes us bigger, even though it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the
setbacks and grief which we endure help us in our marching onward.”
– Henry Ford 1863-1947, Industrialist
Great leaders set priorities, they ask, “if I can only accomplish one thing today, what will it be?”
