Are you spending focused time on priorities and decisions to grow your company today? Are you focused and committed to strategies and actions that will grow and scale your organization into the future?
First of all, it's so easy for business owners to become so buried in the day-to-day micro details of running a business that...
You lose sight of the big picture.
In other words, you want to spend focused time on the macro-management of the business.
And, you'll notice I didn’t say micromanagement.
Macro management means managing the big issues, but not the small ones.
In other words, often business owners become so caught up in the daily details of running the business they assume the role of a micromanager.
Consequently, when their time is not focused on the big questions surrounding our vision, mission and value the company will stall out.
Lack of focus on big picture strategies will leave the company with a weak infrastructure in place for the business to progress forward.
Above all, when you're spending time and focused energy on macro managing, you're able to be clear, decisive and disciplined on a big picture level.
Subsequently, you're able to spend time focused on answering big picture strategic questions.Are You Focused on Big Picture Questions?
Lack of Time is No Excuse
Most business owners will be quick to tell you they're swamped every day in running their company with no time left to take on anything else.
Therefore, too many times these big-picture questions are ignored and or dismissed as “not urgent."

In short, the leader is focused on aspects of the business that should be delegated to a competent second-in-command.
In fact, attention by the business owner on these micro-tasks eat up time and energy the leader needs to be focused on big picture activities that will grow and scale the company forward.
Unfortunately, many business owners struggle to let go of the reins and empower others to create change.
Leadership needs to be focused on the big picture before anything else.
