In a recent Vanity Fair interview President Obama said, “I don’t want to make decisions about what I’m eating or wearing. Because I have too many other decisions to make…You need to focus your decision-making energy. You need to routinize yourself. You can’t be going through the day distracted by trivia.” Obama wears only two types of suits – grey and blue – in the exact same cut. He lets the White House chef decide what he eats most days. Why? Because these decisions are a distraction from making bigger, far more important decisions about our country’s future. Today I want you to apply this thinking to your business. How much of your day is spent doing high value, innovative work? How much of your day is spent doing tedious, busy work? How about your employee’s time is spent in each of these catagories? Focus and innovation are inextricably linked. In order for your company to innovate it cannot be distracted. The more time you and your employees can spend on truly innovative work the more likely you are too succeed. Companies that fail to do this, spread themselves thin, quickly burn through capital and ultimately go out of business.
