'By Damian D. “Skipper” Pitts. Chair, Organizational Development, N2Growth. By now, we all know that leadership is tough, hard, exciting and demanding. But, at the same time, what most people learn the hard way is that it is not a short drive in the beautiful countryside. Instead, it is a long drive across the entire country that requires a look at the roadmap to avoid the roadblocks while understanding the routes and the detours along the way, long before the drive begins.

I’m sinking in quicksand here – what can I do to get all this stuff I need to get done, done?” Well, the answer isn’t in the “doing”. And, it’s not about how fast, or how well. Nope, it’s none of these. The best way to leadership productivity is simply this: Making the best selection of WHAT to do at any given moment.
