Floods and Rivers
Quoting from a book that i read...
"Floods and rivers are both bodies of water. Floods damage. Rivers are useful in many ways. The difference? Focus."
Rivers - flowing in a clear direction. Intensify.
Floods - flowing in every direction. Diversify.
Leaders must learn how to channel their time and energy toward a focused vision
Here is how this principle works... What you focus on expands. If i were to tell you to focus on finding Suzuki Swift cars on the road, you will notice them everywhere because what you focus on expands. So, as leaders, we should focus our time, energy and resources. Expansion is a by-product of realizing, just because we can, doesn't mean we should.
So these questions remains...
1. How many activities are you trying to perform?
2. How thin are you spreading yourself?
3. Are you a flood or a river?
