Focus on the fundamentals...


Sports here in Las Vegas are in full gear this month – The Raiders are well into their season and the Knights are getting ready to start. I imagine the coaches in both of those organizations are exhorting their players to focus on each play rather than worrying about the outcome of a single game or the entire season – meaning: if they execute each play to the best of their abilities then they will have a chance to win; if not, they probably won’t. It’s the same in business – leaders should be coaching employees to focus on the fundamentals of their work, individually and as a group. They can’t control the success or failure of whatever we’re doing; they can only control how well each of those things is completed. Meaning: attention to detail, acting in a timely manner, collaborating effectively, being flexible, and always striving to be the best are the fundamentals of success. And the fundamentals of managing – catching people doing things right and coaching them to improve when needed, are the keys to leading effectively. Stick to the fundamentals today.
