Importance of Prioritizing Tier 1 Activities

As leaders, we often feel overwhelmed by the urgent tasks clamoring for our attention. However, it is crucial to prioritize what's important over what's urgent. The top responsibility of a leader is to focus attention and activity towards a desired result. By identifying our tier one activities, which are mission-critical, we ensure that essential tasks are not sacrificed for less important ones. Tier one activities drive mission outcomes and are often longer-term based, requiring us to resist the allure of immediate demands.
