In today’s talent-focused world of business, it is impossible for companies to succeed without executives who know how to attract, retain, manage, and develop the best. Let’s face it, The best talent wants to work with the best talent.
Get rid of the obvious time wasters - Capable executives say, “If I can fit it in, I should fit it in.” Whereas, driven executives are absurdly selective.
Famous billionaire investor Warren Buffett once said, “The difference betweensuccessful people and very successful people is that very successful people say no to almost everything.” So, deliberately and strategically eliminate the non-essentials.
As the saying goes, the people who talk the most don’t always have the most to say. Capable executives are the first ones to jump in with an answer. Whereas, driven executives are powerful listeners.
John F. Kennedy said, “The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie, deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive and unrealistic.” Capable executives focus on what the competition is doing. Whereas, driven executives focus on what they can do better.
