Tony Blair once said
“The art of leadership is saying no, not yes.
It is very easy to say yes.”
Once you get a little bit of success,
the requests will come.
Sometimes the requests are one sided,
with no benefit to you or your company.
These requests are easier to say no to.
The more difficult ones contain opportunities,
new projects, new directions, new revenue streams.
But some of those will also have to be turned away
(or redirected to someone else) .
A company or person moving in all different directions
goes no where.
Saying no is a success requirement.
