Divided Focus - A Lesson From Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey




It doesn't matter how talented you are, if you divide your focus you will fail.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey just went public with Square, Inc. insisting in his financial statements to both Twitter and Square, Inc. investors that he'll be ok splitting his time between the companies.

Image result for twitterNow it looks like that decision is starting to bite him back. Without a hands on leader, Twitter is struggling to get the focus it needs to correct even some of the basic problems (Twitter's Timeline Changes Do Little to Solve Core Challenges).

It's not that a person cannot run two companies, but if the leadership who can be active in the day-day efforts of those organizations are not energized or empowered to make the critical decisions, the company will fail. Hopefully Jack will find a way to reenergize the Twitter world so we can continue to enjoy 140-character updates.
