Disclaimer: There is rarely a case where there is only one way to do anything. While I believe in what I have said, I also know that the list is incomplete and is not valid for all situations. With that in the background, please read on…

If there is only way…

To ensure the business stays alive today

The focus has to be on the cashflow.

To ensure that an employee is motivated

The focus has to be alignment of personal goals to company mission.

To ensure that that we stay ahead of the competition

The focus has to be on relentless innovation.

To ensure that you are welcome everywhere

It has to be that you provide the highest ROII.

To ensure that you are accountable

It has to be that you keep promises that you make to yourself.

To ensure that you start earning more

The focus has to be to add more value to the stakeholders.

To ensure that you get a viral effect

The focus has to be on creating a remarkable product (In Seth’s terms, a Purple Cow)

To ensure that you get more out of your time

The focus has to be on the leverage

To ensure that you get multiple rewards

The focus has to be on discipline

To get the most of your team

The focus has to be to align individual and team agendas.

To ensure that you lose trust quickly

Is to misue privileged information

To ensure that you stay relevant

You know I am kidding, right
