KEY POINTS:

  • Leaders are now expected to be more compassionate—and compartmentalization can help.
  • There is a difference between prioritizing and ranking, and prioritizing is more important.
  • Leaders need to have the discipline to keep their list of critical priorities to fewer than five.
