Focus
To me “FOCUS” means to become entranced by the job that is at hand. It’s the FOCUS a batter has when they step into the batter’s box. It’s the attention given by a wide receiver when they are crossing the middle of the defense and are about to catch a pass. It’s the routine that a golfer goes through as he addresses the ball during his swing prep. It’s the ability of a corporate CFO to control their breathing and slow their mind as they are about to deliver a keynote speech at a stockholders’ meeting. It’s the stay-at-home parent who is about to stand in front of their school board and dozens of onlookers and television cameras and give a speech that will cause all around them to pause and consider their positions.
In any of these scenarios, whether it be in front of the entire world or just a few people, a lack of FOCUS may be so damning that you will never be trusted in that position again. We never want to be “that person”!
