If you’re leading a growing team, you already know how easy it is to lose focus. The inbox never slows down. New ideas keep arriving faster than you can test them. And somehow, the to-do list keeps expanding even as you check things off.
Growth leaders often carry an invisible pressure – the belief that progress depends on doing more.
But focus isn’t about capacity. It’s about clarity.
The hardest part of growth is deciding where to place your attention.
The Spotlight: Slack
When Slack first launched, it wasn’t trying to be everything to everyone. The team built a simple internal messaging tool to replace endless email threads.
It worked – almost too well. As the product caught on, customers started asking for more: video calls, project boards, task tracking.
Slack could have chased all of it. But the founders knew that focus was their advantage. So they doubled down on one goal – making communication effortless.
Instead of building a hundred features, they built one thing beautifully: a space where teams could stay connected and get work done without chaos. That discipline became their moat.
Every decision – from product updates to pricing – came back to one question: Does this make communication clearer or more complicated?
Focus wasn’t a decision they made once. It was a habit they practiced daily.
The Focus Habit
Focus doesn’t happen by accident. It’s something leaders create through rhythm and intention.
Revisit priorities often – what mattered last quarter might not matter today.
Create systems that make next steps obvious and distractions harder to follow.
Protect time for thinking, not just reacting.
And most importantly, give your team permission to slow down long enough to choose well.
Focus is a form of care. It tells your people that their energy matters – that not every fire deserves their attention.
