The document discusses four types of managers based on their levels of energy and focus: procrastinators who have low energy and focus and only do routine tasks; disengaged managers who have high focus but low energy and lack initiative; distracted managers who have high energy but low focus and confuse activity with action; and purposeful managers who are highly energetic and focused and accomplish the most.

25. Explanation
• Managers who suffer from low levels of both
energy and focus are the procrastinators: They
dutifully perform routine tasks but fail to take
initiative.
• Disengaged managers have high focus but low
energy: They have reservations about the jobs
they are asked to do, so they approach them
halfheartedly.
• Distracted managers have high energy but low
focus: They confuse frenetic activity with
constructive action.
• Purposeful managers are both highly energetic
and highly focused: These are the managers who
accomplish the most “Beware the Busy Manager”
