If you can’t slow down and focus blocks of attention on high value activites, it means you have put yourself on the front lines of customer service – the phone keeps ringing and you have to pick it up.
You’ll have to redesign your job first. Build a team, train, and delegate. Make yourself unnecessary in your current role. Hire yourself out of the job you are doing now. THEN, you’ll have more time to do what only you as the leader can do to grow your organization.
Work on the business, not in the business.
