Leadership & Presence

N2Growth Blog

By Mike Myatt , Chief Strategy Officer, N2growth. Can you be a true leader without possessing a command presence? In my experience, very rarely…I’m not referencing the wannabe leaders oozing bravado, false confidence, arrogance, or self-delusion spun as confidence.

Pareto: 80% of Your Time is Spent on Trivialities

Leadership Freak

The 80/20 rule (Pareto Principle) indicates 80% of your activities are trivial and 20% deliver results. Who wants to go to their CEO and say I’m wasting 80% of my time?
