Busy Is Not the Job. Multiplying is: The Four Directions of a Leader’s Attention, and Where Yours Needs to Go with Todd Webb

​You clear the inbox. You take the meetings. You put out the fire. It feels like the job. But busy isn't the job, and the more you do, the less your organization can do without you.

​You already know you should delegate more, develop people, think further ahead. Knowing it doesn't help. In the moment, the firehose wins, because stepping out of it has never been easy to do.

​In this hands-on session, Todd Webb, a former VP of Product with 30 years leading product and engineering teams, has you step back and look at the past month against the four directions a leader's attention can go. It takes minutes. And most leaders see something they can't unsee: their attention isn't going where their team, their organization, or their company needs it. That's the point. Once you see it, you'll want to act, and you'll know where to start.

​You'll walk away with:

• ​A simple way to test how you think you’re leading against how you’re actually leading

• ​An honest look at the gap between how you're leading and what your team needs most

• ​One shift to make this week that moves you from doing the work to leading it

​Who it's for:
Senior leaders, people managers, and founders who are scaling a team, stepping into a bigger role, or carrying more than they can keep doing themselves.
