Editorial Review
Most companies, and certainly most managers, focus on inputs rather than outputs. They look at process—the 1001 tasks you have to do each week. Whereas they should be looking at results—specifically at what produces the best results. Yet, when you really scrutinize what produces great results, the answer is surprising. Most great results are achieved through relatively little action and energy. But the small inputs that produce big results are generally hidden by a mass of inputs that produce a few good results, and often many bad ones. Companies and managers tend to look at averages, not outliers and extremes. Yet, surprisingly, these are what really matter.
