Many dream of becoming a firefighter. Rushing from house to house, extinguishing the flames that erratically arise, saving children and kittens alike. The reactionary nature of the profession sounds thrilling to 7-year-old ears. For many of those “would-be” firefighters, it seems that their dream has become a reality (and nightmare)… Business owners now rush from department to department extinguishing fires in their organizations, never able to save all the kittens. Seemingly, being a firefighter is not as glorious as previously thought. Yet, this is how most businesses operate.

Think of your business, do you spend much of your time thinking about your strategy or reacting to incidents? It is often fatal when a leaders’ attention is focused on the day to day. Boat captains that spend  time focused on the unclean deck miss the warnings from the lighthouse beacon. The future is unknown, and the market is shifting; if you are not watching, who is?
