Often leaders ask: How do we get more done when we’re already at full capacity?
The answer isn’t about doing more—it’s about focusing on what moves the needle.
BIG Rocks First
Are you familiar with the Big Rocks First fable about leadership and priorities?
If not, watch a quick 1-minute video.
The gist of it: if you don’t tackle the most important tasks first, you stay just as busy—but without meaningful progress at the end of your day, week, or even whole year.
Change
?? 70% of change efforts fail (McKinsey), and a major reason is poor prioritization.
Change isn’t just about new strategies—it’s about how fast people at all levels adapt. You need more thinkers, decision-makers, and leaders across your organization, from the C-suite to the frontline.
How do you develop them?
By teaching the fundamentals of strategic thinking and execution:
Companies waste time and talent chasing too many initiatives at once, with teams drowning in busywork instead of real impact.
Organizational ADHD is real??
The first thing many professionals do every morning?
Check emails, hoping for an agenda instead of defining their own.
That’s not leadership—that’s reacting. Most knowledge workers "cry" for more autonomy AND avoid decisions at all costs.
Why you need CEOs at every level of change
Change happens at the speed of decision-making.
If only a few people in your organization think strategically while the rest wait for instructions, you will not scale change.
What separates high-performance cultures?
Every individual—from the C-suite to the frontline—knows:
? The #1 priority for the company
? How their work contributes to it
? How to align their time and decisions accordingly
??Think of your body’s natural adaptability—when you step into a cold plunge, every cell adjusts instantly. When you switch to a sauna, the shift happens just as fast. That’s how organizations should operate—people making the right moves instinctively, without top-down micromanagement.
