8 objectives used to be the norm for most execs. And their teams suffered the consequences. Today I agree with Willie Pietersen. If executives narrowed their focus to. 2 or 3 priorities a lot of organizational problems would be resolved - engagement, clarity of direction, ability to prioritize and mental well being as a result.

An executive at one of my recent clients expressed how overwhelmed they felt. I asked about the organization's priorities, and my client defeatedly said, "Everything is a priority." To borrow a film title - "Everything. Everywhere. All at Once." Does that resonate for you? From Willie Pietersen's article on this topic: "In 2011, groundbreaking research by Nelson Cowan, a professor of psychology at the University of Missouri into what he called “working memory,” showed conclusively that five priorities is the wrong number. He found that people can follow a maximum of four things, sometimes fewer. More than four eliminates focus completely." Research shows that more than four priorities is too many. FOUR! Having too many priorities inhibits leadership alignment and advocacy. It exacerbates the feeling of overwhelm. It forces employees to address "all the things" now with efforts that end up being a mile wide and an inch deep. It robs the organization of any capacity to address unforeseen events. It steals time away from strategic, long-term thinking. Frustration ensues. We fan the flames of burnout. The worst part is that all of that activity really has no sustainable impact on business performance. What other sources of overwhelm have you seen or experienced? #strategy #priorities #executiveleasdership #leadershipdevelopment

💡 In Fortune, I explore how leaders like Steve Jobs and Bob Iger found success by narrowing their focus. Even five priorities can be too many. Real impact happens when: 🔸 The focus is limited to 3-4 critical priorities. 🔸 Priorities are aligned with a compelling leadership story. 🔸 Simplifying allows leaders to multiply success.

Seven steps to elevate strategic leadership in Q4, 2024 It’s back to school time for everyone, the weather is turning decidedly autumnal, what better time to settle back in, review the year so far and assess what adjustments and forward planning initiatives are needed for the coming all-important Q4 2024 of the calendar year? Our latest online blog specifically explores pressing strategic priorities for CEOs at this time of year. The insights, however, could be a useful checklist for anyone in an executive or senior leadership position. We have identified seven clear actions to help analyse and secure progress towards end of year goals and think ahead to 2025. The acceleration of Generative-AI led drivers of growth are never far from my mind and hopefully you can all forgive my cautious evangelism. But these exciting technologies really are starting to have a meaningful impact on the way business is delivered in every function, sector and market.
