Minimising the Urgent in Your Leadership

Getting to the urgent is what matters. Almost nothing should be urgent in the work a leader does. Yet so often, we are driven away from the important to what seems to be urgent.

There are three 'urgents'

1. Crises - with a modest investment of time, these can be reduced to a trickle
2. Other people's urgent - saying 'no' to some and 'yes' to others (who offer help), will reduce these to a minimum
3. Your choices - when you do unproductive work, this is not important, so yes, you can stop

All within your power.
