Great leaders are purposeful action-takers; this means they don’t get bogged down in the sometimes overwhelming amount of work on their desks – they purposefully work towards the achievement of their defined goal, whatever it may be. Great managers don’t try to do more things – they focus on doing the right things, and in getting them done. Becoming a purposeful action-taker is a process, with both organizational and personal parts. The personal part is to become a purposeful action-taker yourself; the organizational part is fostering purposeful action-taking in your corporation, so the manager can actually be a purposeful action-taker, and lead his or her employees to be the same.
