Going full throttle at all times is not sustainable; focus and steady progress are needed to win races. Multi-tasking distracts from the focus required to drive skillfully, so leaders should avoid distractions and micro-managing. To drive effectively, rely on anticipation, peripheral vision, agility, purpose, staying close to the ground, having a wide base of support, and trusted technology rather than the latest innovations. Consider how, when, where, and who will be involved when implementing change to avoid friction.
