For teams and organizations to make real progress, it is required work for teams to both set, and agree to, priorities. Having too many priorities means delivering nothing with excellence and wasting valuable resources. Too few priorities, and group effort stagnates. Everything suffers from a lack of focused energy. Getting the priorities right is paramount for success.
It is important to find what method works for the team/organization. Having something such as Smart Goals, V2MOM's or even EOS is extremely helpful. Having priorities is critical for the health and growth of the organization, but what I have learned from experience is that it takes a strong leader to ensure that you have cohesion and everyone is rowing the right direction, and using the same method. Also realize that some people struggle with these type of things so it is important to meet your people where they are at. Thanks for sharing this article.
Agree with what you're saying here... but would like to hear more about what you mean by the word "strong" in this context? Something more than "determined"?
I'd surmise if you're leading a group of strong personalities it'll need a leader that can listen to the team's input, coach them to a consensus, and if that's not possible then the leader makes the call, deals with objections, and gets the team to move forward in alignment with the decision.
