The difference between mediocrity and success is often found in the ability to focus. Focus affords its practitioner uncommon levels of intensity and discipline, which often lead to extraordinary accomplishment. In today’s column I’ll examine the main difference between those who dream and those who do – focus.
I am frequently asked what it takes to become more productive. My answer is simple: become very, very focused. Focus results in aligned priorities, order, discipline, and productivity. Even though numerous studies have concluded multi-tasking is detrimental to both personal and professional productivity, society has fallen prey to the illusion multi-tasking is a trait of the intellectually gifted – it is not.
Every time I read a job description that states: must be able to multi-task in a complex environment I cringe – what are people thinking? Rarely is being busy the same thing as being effective. In fact, most times the former is a barrier to the latter. Few people will be impressed by how busy you are, but most people are very impressed by those who actually accomplish something.

Leaders want team members to do what they agree to, but it’s not always a straight path to such results. Understanding how people learn makes such a difference toward getting things done.

Leaders Influence. Managers must think and be leaders, but leaders do not have to be managers.
To be a leader you must influence people to take action, take action in the way you want them to take action, and finally take sustained action that is sufficient to get the job done.
Leaders have vision, and they learn to articulate that vision. Truly gifted leaders are able to touch the emotions of those who follow them. Great leaders master the art of getting people to do something the leader wants done because they want to do it.
High expectations are the key to everything. Leaders set expectations in order to take people where they have not been before. New victories against new opponents, and new challenges. Great leaders keep one eye on the goal and the other on the progress of the team.
When the team sees obstacles, the leader focuses attention on the goal. Obstacles are what people see when they take their eyes off the goal. Via Dr. Susan Bainbridge

Emotional displays are frowned up, but it's unhealthful to just bottle up your feelings. Experts say you should be attuned to your emotional triggers so responses can be managed for more productive outcomes.

I have become convinced that there is one leadership principle upon which companies and families and fortunes balance, but it is totally misunderstood by today’s corporate and political leaders.

I am often asked about how I keep employees inspired and productive. It’s an essential question since companies today must accomplish more, with fewer people. The most successful start-ups must be lean, nimble, and fierce.
In a nutshell, you should hire bright, energetic, innovative employees. Then offer them the right incentives–the ones that will impact their personal brain and personality types–to keep them mentally and emotionally invested in doing their best.
It’s impossible to talk about motivation without mentioning Drive, a book by best-selling author Daniel Pink. (His TED lecture was turned into a fabulous video.)
Pink notes that people perform best when they are given autonomy, opportunity for mastery, and the belief that their task is meaningful. He says money is not the best motivator, and that employees want to be “players, not pawns.”

Have I gone where I’m asking them to go? Have I done what I’m asking them to do? Have I sacrificed what I’m asking them to sacrifice? Do I model the kind of character that I expect to see in them?
Thanks Ned!
