VFTM

How do you stay focused as a leader?

This may sound like a simple question. In reality it can be hard—and nuanced.

People and politics. Poor expectations. Mismanaged expectations. The scope creep monster. There’s many reasons when staying focused can a challenge. So what can you do?

I suggest you write down the letters, VFTM.

VFTM stands for the Vital Few vs Trivial Many. A useful prompt for keeping the main thing the main thing. An opportunity to reject the non-essential and focus on what really needs to happen.
