1. Great leaders do a terrific job of providing clarity of purpose and clarity of goals and direction. The importance of a leader providing clear direction can’t be overstated.

2. As discussed in a book called Profit from the Core by Chris Zook, it is much easier to succeed close to your core areas and to build around those areas. A business should constantly look to double down and build around key niches/lines and key customers. This is generally the most probable place to excel.
