The 2%

Colleagues,

Shun the non-believers. Ignore the well-meaning but unmoved. Instead, we have the chance to find and connect and celebrate the people who care enough to make a difference.
-Seth Godin

 
The Pareto Principle suggests that 80% of an effect is generated by 20% of the work, or by 20% of the people.
 
In working with a community of assistant principals (APEx), about 10% are highly engaged, 10% moderately engaged, and 80% are in the background. 
 
In your organization:

• Who should we focus on? 
• Do we fly high with Godin’s 2%?
• Do we maximize our efforts by focusing on the 20%?
• Do we try and move the entire organization by focusing on the 80%?

 
Please, pause and think about this.
 
…
 
 
The fourth principle of strategic leadership is focusing on people.
 
If you don’t have a clear answer to the questions above, how can you be strategically focused on developing your people?
 
Maybe you are just stumbling around?
 
I would love to get your reaction to this. Please consider clicking here to send me a brief reaction.
 
Cheers!
