Reconsidering Priorities: Visible or Important?

Our tendency is to focus on our most visible work. Ā When done well it leads to high-fives, hand-claps, and the occasional wall plaque. Ā But defining priorities by visibility minimizes much work that is truly most important. Ā Including, but not limited to…
Ā 
ā€¦investment in the team that shares your objectives.
ā€¦development of systems that ensure effective communication.
…management of budget that ensures future resources.
Ā 
Prioritizing visible over important gives greater value to personal appearances than organizational success. Ā Visible work will get you compliments. Ā Important work creates long-term progress.
Ā 
Eventually, the important has a way of making itself visible.
