’m fortunate to have the capacity to change my thought pat-
Iterns quickly—to focus on something new without a long
adjustment period. For example, people have commented on how
quickly I conduct meetings; I can lead effective and productive
meetings one after another without any downtime between
them. I credit this ability to knowing what focus really is and
the ability to get to the point very quickly.
My focus is always on the solution to whatever the prob-
lem—or challenge—might be. In contrast, I have met so many
people who waste a lot of their time (and mine) talking about
their problems. It becomes very clear to me that they are avoid-
ing looking for a solution. They either like the drama of their
situation or are too lazy to make the effort of using their brains
to look at solutions.
