Is Everything a Priority? Why a 3–5 Year Vision Changes Everything

When everyone is involved in everything and priorities aren't clear, the root cause is usually the same: no shared picture of where the company is going.

One of my clients has a leadership team that's always been willing to pitch in wherever needed.

That served them well when the company was smaller. But today, everyone is involved in everything, priorities aren't clear, and people are burned out.

As we talked through it, we got to the real issue: they hadn't clearly defined where they wanted the company to be in 3 to 5 years.

And that matters because if you don't know where you're going, it's pretty hard to decide what's actually a priority.

Does your leadership team have enough clarity about the future to confidently say 'no' to things today?

AND ON A PERSONAL NOTE

My daughter recently took my 8-month-old grandson out on a boat for the first time. He was not a fan. But it's been such a joy watching her grow into motherhood and watching him rack up all these 'firsts' — especially those that end up with hilarious side eyes from an 8-month-old.
