Success is the result of effective action. While we all have goals and plans, reality does not always comply right away.
“No plan survives first contact with the enemy.”
Helmuth von Moltke
When things go downhill, the mind needs to concentrate on adjusting or staying on course. Distractions must be eliminated. Therefore, focus in execution is the essential ingredient that makes results happen.
“Effective Leadership is defined by results not attributes.”
Peter Drucker
