Leadership Focus Worksheet

A simple tool for clarifying what actually matters right now.

What this is

Many leaders struggle with focus not because they lack discipline, but because they are carrying too many priorities at once.

The Leadership Focus Worksheet is a short exercise designed to help you reduce cognitive load, clarify what deserves attention now, and make tradeoffs explicit so work can move forward.

This is about creating conditions for execution, not doing more.

You may find this useful if

  • Everything feels important

  • Decisions take longer than they should

  • Your team is busy but progress feels slow

  • You spend time managing tradeoffs instead of reducing them

  • You feel pulled in too many directions at once

What you get

  • A way to surface competing priorities

  • Prompts to identify what actually matters right now

  • Language to clarify what can wait

  • A clearer basis for decisions and delegation

What this is not

This is not a productivity hack.

It is not a goal-setting framework.

It is not about working harder or faster.

How to use it

Complete the worksheet on your own first. Then revisit it weekly or use it as a starting point for conversations with your team.

Focus improves when priorities are explicit and shared.
