How good are you at prioritization in your business?
It’s ok. You can be honest.
The truth is that prioritization seems straightforward, but in reality it’s much more complex than it appears, especially in the context of a business like yours - which is inherently dynamic, ever-changing, and unpredictable.
Issues come out of nowhere. Circumstances change. People quit. Clients cancel. Unexpected weather roles through.
How are you supposed to get anything done when you’re constantly putting out fires?
Our guests today have some practical strategies that can help.
Harry Max is the author of Managing Priorities: How to Create Better Plans and Make Smarter Decisions. And Wes Bright is his partner at Peak Priorities. They consult with some of the biggest companies in tech, and today, they're going to level up our priority management toolbox in a major way.
Episode highlights:
Learn what makes prioritization so hard and what systems and tools you can use to get better at it.
Understand the frameworks Harry Max recommends in his book, Managing Priorities: How to Create Better Plans and Make Smarter Decisions.
Get practical prioritization tips from two consultants who work with the biggest companies in tech including Apple, Google and Microsoft.

If you think of great leaders in sports, a lot of them come from the college level, not necessarily professional. Why? Because College’s have to replenish their talent every 4 years and build a winning culture that carries them to a dynasty! The feat is even more impressive at the college level
In today’s episode, we’re going to dive into what’s made Clemson the powerhouse they are, and how Dabo Swinney has played a pivotal role in this transformation over the past 16 years and what you can learn from this to apply in your business as a championship leader. Whether or not you’re a big football or sports fan, we think these practical analogies will hit home and help you understand what it takes to build a winning championship culture in your organization.
