When Before What: Practical prioritization for leaders and builders

by Phil Ensminger | at Minnebar20 | 1:25 – 2:05 in Challenge | View Schedule

What are we building? What's most important? When are we done? What's needed? Where will I find the time? What's next?

Choosing is hard. Opportunity is unlimited. The work is unlimited.

But, limits are real. Time is limited. People are limited. Most is singular.

It's cliche to say that "priorities shift" and yet, so many of our leadership practices are built on assumptions of stability. Beautiful vision statements grow stale and fail when we never update them. We give ourselves and teams whiplash when we pivot too often and chase problems that weren't really in our way.

What could it mean to embrace our limits and work with them? What happens when we commit to "for now", reserving the right to change our minds? What happens when we're honest with ourselves and others about how much we can actually take on?

What's hard about prioritization? How might we do better?

If you attend this session, expect to participate. This is about you and your work. Expect to walk away with work to do, and a few new techniques to help you do it.

All work is lists, time, people, and tools. It gives me life to help individuals and businesses navigate the infinite matrix of these things with clarity and confidence.
