Why not "right tasks" + "right people" ? Even if you have done a great job recruiting the best "right people" aren't today most things done by teams (not just one individual) and don't the team members have to know what to do in a coordinated way? It's not sufficient that the "right people" can figure out by themselves what to do. It also critical that they can tell the other "right people" what has to be done in cooperation (often in sequence). And this is the concept of a process. In the end if you want to be truly efficient you do need both, don't you? Why does it have to be “right tasks” versus “right people”? Why not “right tasks” + “right people” ?

Way to talk to the people who need it. I like that this graphic so clearly expresses the point you’re trying to get across, but it does so in a style that the first column automatically subscribe to.

It's been awhile since I've visited your blog. I would also just add that if the results aren't what you want them to be... one should make sure the vision of the mission is clear. I think too often the issue with the "Hire the right people" approach is that the mission isn't clearly defined for them so they stray. Then the leader defaults to the more comfortable "Complete the task right" approach, even if it's the wrong approach. Great post Tony! It’s been awhile since I’ve visited your blog.

Having the right people on board can take you places you've never dreamed of.

I've run into frustration before because I aspire to be a leader of leaders but find that I'm probably more effective at completing the right tasks. Great clarification. Man I love this graphic!
