However, it has left him making only a tiny amount of progress in too many directions. In the last few months he has added two different leadership competency models, a values list and much more. Still, with no sense of irony, he also wanted to roll out five other workshops. The reason for my meeting with the executive in question was a good one: he wanted me to run essentialism workshops to every person in his company. Their answer to everything was “another product” until at they’re peak they reached 330 different products. It’s the career equivalent of Apple’s undisciplined approach of “add more product lines” before Steve Jobs’ return. They know he has done “a bunch of stuff” but in the blur of busyness they can’t be quite sure what it adds up to. The problem is he pursues so many initiatives that by the end of the year people don’t really know what he has accomplished. I recently met with a capable executive who is passionate about his work and good at it. ![]()
