In baseball, there’s only one place in the entire field where you get to swing a bat. In the “batter’s box”.
That’s it.
If you set the goal to hit a home run, you have to go to the batter’s box. At any other location on the field, you would have 0% chance of hitting the ball. Actually you wouldn’t even be able to swing a bat. You’d be doing something else, but not trying to hit the ball.
For most goals in life, there’s usually one optimal place to be to get results. It’s your batter’s box.
As a leader, you must determine where is your batter’s box for your team. It’s one of your most important jobs on a strategic level. Find the batter’s box and you can put your team in their sweet spot.
You can’t afford to waste time, resources or energy placing your team away from the action. And let’s be honest, most of the time, that’s precisely what you do. You give them the wrong goals or you tell them to do the wrong activities. You mislead them because you don’t know where they should be.
Take the time to find which area best leverages your team’s skills.
