Hierarchies of Objectives III

This presents the skills of coordination as if they were rungs on a ladder, with higher rungs in reach only when lower rungs had been attained.

To concentrate on an objective--to make it a priority--necessarily assumes that many other important things will be take care of.  In the case of PJ, he was able to concentrate on the coordination between his helicopter and landing on a rescue vessel at sea because he already possessed layer upon layer of competences at flying that had become routine.

This presents the skills of coordination as if they were rungs on a ladder, with higher rungs in reach only when lower rungs had been attained.  Indeed, PJ's concept of layering of skills explains why some organizations can concentrate on issues that others cannot.  

ACTION POINT: Master the basics of "flying" your business and then pursue higher rungs.
