The Value of Prioritization and Making Hard Decisions

During Morning Brew's two-day offsite, one of the major lessons learned was the importance of prioritization and making hard decisions. The offsite involved listing out 25 to 35 priorities for the business, which needed to be narrowed down to three to five rocks, or major goals. This process forced the senior leadership team to consider opportunity costs, constructive tension, and focus. By evaluating the most important priorities, the team could determine which actions would significantly impact the company's success. This lesson highlighted the need for professionals to consistently practice and incorporate prioritization skills in their daily work.
