[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 821310, member: 844"] I have had similar thoughts as this. My background was in manufacturing and operations and a trick to success when one has multiple obligations and priorities is being able to focus on the critical and ignore (or delegate or do as little as you can get by with) the other stuff. I have seen guys who loved the meetings, the shiny new corporative initiative of the month, visiting and hosting customers and vendors, employee events, representing the company at various fundraisers and charity things, etc. But they didn't like the actual dirty work of making the product better and cheaper than the competitors. A mentor once told me as I was coming up that "the main thing to succeed is to make the main thing the main thing." In other words, you cannot lose focus as to why you are actually in business. That was his forte and I did my best to emulate him. The greatest manager/leader I ever worked for. He never lost focus or intensity regarding the details. [/QUOTE]
