Formulae for Success: The Stiletto Principle

Capital resources are always scarce, which means that rational executives will allocate available resources in such a manner as to maximize returns. Business coach Jeffrey Tobin postulates the following as his proferred method for allocating scarce personal resources:

How do you use your assets... your assets of time, people and resources? What different results would you get if you put all of your “weight” into the stiletto-like focus of one or two goals? You’d expend no more effort, but you’d have a significantly greater impact.

Jeff's epiphany is what he calls The Stiletto Principle, which operationalizes as:

E = R / O,

where E = effectiveness, R = resources, and O = objectives. Accordingly, "the fewer goals over which you spread your resources, the greater your effectiveness. It’s as easy as that" (Tobin, 2011).
