Focus Makes Fire

"Take the hottest day the world has ever known, the most powerful magnifying glass you can find in a store and a box of newspaper clippings. Hold the magnifying glass over the newspaper clippings. Even though you magnify the power of the sun through the glass, you will never start a fire - if you keep the glass moving. However, if you hold the glass still, and focus it on the paper, you harness the power of the sun and multiply it through the glass. Then you can start a roaring fire." - Zig Ziglar

In my career it's been increasingly common to rotate people around to different jobs. Whereas once we dedicated Tyson to improving our group insurance line rather than tossing it among a wilderness of other activities crying for attention, the benefits really took off.
