How many times you have seen super busy executives and super busy teams, with no time to spare on a regular day?

Have you asked the question of what is the relative importance of each matter they are dealing? 

In the book Politic Economic from Vilfredo Pareto, the author brings up what is known today as the Pareto's Law.
80% of the results can be explained with 20% of the factors, this can be generally applied with non related variables.

In the case of business and organizations, the Pareto effect is much more dramatic, because the variables are related, and quite squared. This means, that a few factors determine 90% of the results or more.

So when you see your team extremely busy, ask yourself, how many hours are being spent on issues that will never affect the outcome of the business?
