Colleagues, MVP: Quadrant 2 is where we invest time to grow people. Strategy 1: Focus on Quadrant 2 The Eisenhower Matrix is based off a quote by the then president in 1954. The matrix has been popularized by Stephen Covey in his book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. The matrix consists of four quadrants formed by the intersections of urgent/not urgent and important/not important: Urgent leaders spend most of their time in quadrants 1 and 3. However, most strategic work takes place in quadrant two. Strategic leaders consistently invest in quadrant 2 activity.
Notice the verbs – we spend time in quadrant 3, but we invest time in quadrant 2. This is because quadrant 2 activities lead to lasting improvements that pay back dividends over time. Take Action Now: Print this email, cut out the matrix, and put it in a prominent space. Check it multiple times each day and ask, “Have I invested in Quadrant 2 today?” Cheers! Frederick
