When it comes to success, do you focus on fundamentals or get distracted by shiny, new tactics?

<> 

Many years ago, a client asked if I could recommend a good book on leadership.

I told him I had read many excellent books over the years. However, instead of giving a recommendation, I asked him this question:

“Do you think it’s a good idea to introduce a bunch of new concepts before you master the few we’ve been working on this past year?”

With unlimited resources for new information, it’s tempting to think that there’s got to be some new piece of information that will quickly transform our performance (personally or professionally).

It rarely works this way.

Meaningful change takes place when we discipline ourselves to master the fundamentals.

Before signing up for that life-changing podcast, check your daily habits to see if the answer isn’t already at your fingertips.
