Episode #340 // Every day, you’ll find countless opportunities to get distracted, which could potentially compromise your ability to deliver on the main game.

Many years ago, when I was CIO of an insurance company, I used a simple but powerful mantra: whenever someone came up with a bright idea that would potentially add a task to our work program, I brought some perspective by asking the simple question: “Will it make the boat go faster?”

Of course, that expression’s not original, and I begin the episode by telling the story of its origins. But the sentiment is clear: will doing this thing take us closer to our singular, compelling goal?

In this episode I give you some practical techniques that you can use immediately to sharpen your team’s focus on the things that really matter.
