Listen "In a World that’s Seemingly Complex, How Do I Simplify?"

Episode Synopsis

As leaders, we need to simplify. When we simplify, things get done.
Anything complex, clouds visibility; thrashes initiative; impairs motivation; and in effect, Complexity stymies action.
As a leader therefore, it’s essential to simplify; so that visibility improves, initiatives thrive, and motivation sustains. When we simplify, appropriate action happens, and things get done.
When we simplify, we are effective, more productive, less stressed, more efficient.
Steve Jobs once said - Simple can be harder than complex. You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end, because once you get there you can move mountains. Unquote.
In a world that’s seemingly complex and distractive, how do I simplify? How do I unpack my complexities?
Some of the ways are to:
Minimise - Cutting things down to its essence, Rooting out extra steps,
Figuring out (absolute) priorities, and saying no to other things,
Thus, focusing on what’s (really) important,
Breaking down massive-looking things in to (consumable) smaller pieces,
and
Seeking Clarity at every level, for ourselves.
As leaders, we need to simplify. When we simplify, things get done.
