Business's highest calling is to care for people by providing goods and services to the public. "Care requires understanding. Understanding is the basis of care. What you would take care of you must first understand whether it be a petunia or a nation." Dallas Willard “Renovation of the Heart” This applies equally to one's own self and its care, a business or its employees and customers, a spouse, child or family. Therefore it becomes the highest priority not to manage businesses and people, but to seek to deeply and accurately understand them. Then one may be able to care for them but only as deeply as one grasps ones own and others' inner lives.

Setting goals vs. identifying areas of focus. It's interesting to note that there is a downside to setting goals.

Goals have counterproductive side effects. There's a better way to hold yourself accountable.
