Stephen LynchIn our minds, The Economist is the premier global newsmagazine.

Published since 1843, The Economist targets a highly-educated readership, comprising influential business leaders and policy-makers – and has over 1.3 million global subscribers, half of which are in North America.

We are thrilled to once again have another RESULTS.com article published in the Executive Briefing section of The Economist:

"In this article, Stephen Lynch, Chief Operating Officer at business coaching consultancy RESULTS.com, argues that leaders can be more effective by focusing on less.

Many leaders have a distorted concept of "management by objectives" and think that because they have set financial and operational targets for the year and quarter, their leadership duties and responsibilities are complete. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Instead, as General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt believes, "Every leader should be able to clearly explain and repeat the top three things the organization is working on. If they can't, then they are not leading well.

This applies to leaders at every level of an organization. Every leader should be able to articulate the top three action priorities their team is working on this quarter – aligned to overall company strategy."
