A month ago, two coyotes roamed through a field pouncing on little critters every ten feet or so. It was easy pickings for them. Today, in that same field, two coyotes were there. This time, they stared at me rather than ignoring me to focus on pouncing. They changed their focus to other people as they appeared on the path by the field. The focus was always on people. It was a stark change from the last time I saw them when they ignored the people in the area.
Times can change quickly. And so can focus. In today’s fast paced environment, people move their attention from one thing to another rapidly. The tough thing for leaders is keeping people focused on goals and objectives. Companies that succeed are able to keep attention on things that matter to keep them moving forward.
