Learning number four is not a new topic in my writing, nor a new one in your reading. The fourth thing I’ve learned in Coaching is that leaders are starved for focus.

The feeling of being “out-of-focus” is a common concern I have heard with regularity since the 21st Century began. Busyness is yet another topic of which I have often spoken and written. The distractions glorified by busyness, the enemy of focus, have been amplified in the ramp-up of the 21st Century.

With 21st Century intensity, these distractions push individual attention in all directions 24 x 7. This will most likely never slack. So, what is a leader to do?

We must first understand the real problem; rather, we must take accountability for the only solution – to focus. A starved state is my own fault when I snack at the table of distraction where no nutrient is represented.

I must take personal accountability for my own balanced diet of focus.
