2. MANAGE FROM A HIGHER LEVELSM
Interesting tagline; but what does this mean?
ü It means building growth and a future, rather than spending valuable time just to
stay in-place
ü It means avoiding backward steps
ü It means the business generates the cash, the energy and the innovation to thrive
over time
ü It means gaining commitment from subordinates and partners to shoulder some
of the load
“A wise person puts all their eggs in one basket, and watches the basket.”
