Leadership development. Change management. These tend to be top priorities for many organizations, and yet a significant number of organizations tend to fall far short of their goals for both.

But what do you do when you've stopped watching television, given up Facebook and eliminated the half-fat one-hour lattes? Dorie Clark's article in the Harvard Business Review gives us some pointers on how to say no to things we actually like doing - when it allows us to focus on the meaningful, long-term goals we've set.
If you're faced with a steady stream of good opportunities and you just don't have time to say yes to all of them, here's how you can find the strength to say no, and a few questions you can ask yourself to stay focused. The full story is located here.
