I have a new habit. Before flashing my title slide up on the screen these days, I offer up two others first—or “REALLY First Things Before First Things.” I label them “X2.” Or: “The Excellence TWO.” They encompass two central ideas that often get lost in a list of 10 or 20 key ideas—or never make the list at all.
They encompass two notions of … Surpassing Strategic Importance.
Two notions we all “care about”—but two notions that we frequently fail to … OBSESS … on. And it is precisely … OBSESSION … that is called for.
The X2:
EXCELLENCE in Cross-functional Communication and Integration.
EXCELLENCE in 1st-line management.
