March 3: Stop Fighting Fires—Start Preventing Them

Leaders who focus only on the immediate will always be fighting fires.

If you're constantly reacting to urgent issues, you're stuck in a cycle of firefighting. Great leaders prioritize long-term solutions to prevent problems before they arise. Shifting focus from urgent to important tasks ensures sustainable success.

Take Action: Identify one recurring issue in your work. Instead of just fixing it again, take one step today to address its root cause.
