Mindful Leadership
To Be Focused Is to Be Effective
Many people think that the ability to focus or concentrate should come naturally and that when we don’t focus it’s because we’re not trying hard enough—if only we would try harder, it would happen. This is an erroneous view and an incorrect conclusion. The untrained mind has huge difficulty in concentrating on anything for more than a few seconds, let alone a couple of minutes at a time.
However, when you train your mind, you are able to concentrate on whatever you wish, for as long as you wish. This makes you highly effective and efficient. And with training and practice you can stay focused, whether under stress or in the presence of multiple opportunities or distractions. The ability to keep your eye on the ball makes all the difference between winning and losing, between utilizing and wasting resources, which can be key to successful leadership.
