When focus feels impossible, it’s not your fault.
Recently, I shared strategies from my Global Woman Magazine article on reclaiming energy in an always-on world.
Today, let’s zoom out a bit: often, when professionals struggle to focus, it’s treated as an individual problem.
💡 The truth? Focus - or lack of it - is often a leadership and system issue.
If teams are overloaded with urgent requests, back-to-back meetings, and unclear priorities, even the most capable professionals will feel drained and scattered. High performance isn’t just about willpower; it’s about clarity, structure, and intentional design of work.
Some reflections for leaders and HR:
- Are priorities clearly communicated, so focus isn’t constantly diverted?
- Are there protected periods for deep work, or is the day fully reactive?
- How does the organization model and respect boundaries?
Helping your teams sustain focus isn’t a perk — it’s a performance strategy.
When attention is protected and priorities are clear, people can deliver results with energy and creativity intact.
👉 How does your organization signal what truly deserves attention?
