Loosing Focus

What makes people (or organizations) lose focus on their purpose and calling? I had a fascinating discussion about this with the Mavuno dream team and they had some great thoughts...

• Success – easily sidetracks people or organization
  
• Too many good things - doing less better always results in more
  
• Attitude- not expecting hardship and opposition
  
• Too task oriented – forgetting that true success is always about people
• Fatigue- not taking time off to replenish reserves
• Focus on maintaining what worked before, rather than on purpose
• Not keeping the main thing the main thing
  
• Not clarifying wins - need to regularly ask 'what is success for me?'
  
• Not celebrating wins - you get what you celebrate
  
• Lack of consistency
• Fear
