CONCENTRAR uma organização no que é essencial

"I believe that executing strategy successfully requires tough, often uncomfortable, choices based on simple logic and clear principles.
...
Simple questions can strip away the confusion that obfuscates clear thinking, allowing us to focus on the key issues that underpin important decisions.
.
We too often fall into the comfortable habit of avoiding choice in the mistaken belief that we can have it all.
.
Instead of focusing on one primary customer, we have multiple types of customers. Instead of instilling core values, we develop lists of desired behaviors. Instead of focusing on a few critical measures, we build scorecards with an overload of measures. We work hard to avoid making choices. (Moi ici: Tão comum! Arrisco afirmar que é o principal problema de muitas das empresas que vou conhecendo. O medo de recusar uma encomenda, o medo de ser claro para os clientes.)
...
I believe that you must have active discussions with the people in your organization. There is no magic bullet, no metric or scorecard that will tell you where the pitfalls of your business strategy are. There is only one path to success: you must engage in ongoing, face-to-face debate with the people around you about emerging data, unspoken assumptions, difficult choices, and, ultimately, action plans." (Moi ici: É fundamental o partir pedra, o comungar de interpretações.)
