Each person has their strengths. No one is brilliant at everything. No one! Yet, we find individuals and organizations persisting with an approach of wanting to do it all. Ever asked yourself why? We take on tasks that are not our forte nor delight us. We do it because we think we are saving time, an expense, or if I want it done, I need to do it myself’.
If you can find your lane and stick to it and allow others to find their lanes or fill the other lanes, you individually will, without doubt, be able to speed ahead, but so will others as well. What will that group of people look like? Instead of doing various tasks at a sub-optimal state, you will soon find yourself operating at maximum efficiency. Not only will you personally improve in your performance, but you will likely be doing more of the things you enjoy most, which will lead to you being happier and better at it too. And yes, there is an associated opportunity cost with getting out of your lane.
