The Focus Model
 


The focus model is about taking our focus and thinking about what's happening right this second. Great leaders are able to think about other people other than themselves and have the ability to shift focus without losing it. This ability to focus sets people apart and the ability to think about how they solve problems. If you can shift your thinking, you can improve your long-term thinking ability. The key thing is just knowing when you're in the moment right here.

  • Here and Now
    This is the ultimate focus point. In the Spider Web challenge, teams were successful because so many members were able to focus on the tasks here and now. However, being in the here and now can also cause you to make some very critical mistakes.

  • Now and Somewhere Else
    If you can understand other people you are affecting by your behaviour, this allows you to zoom out and focus on those around you. Without this ability you will be in a very small tunnel and that is when you get hurt in relationships.

  • Here, Now and Later
    This is another zoom out where thinking starts to shift in what is called global mentality. When leaders go out and make plans they focus on the here, now and later.

  • Global
    This not only includes here, now and later, but also includes those things everywhere else. This is also the future. One of the things that is hard for individuals is to have the ability to shift focus. It is important to zoom out once in awhile and consider how what you are doing is affecting others.
