]]> Another video by Jim Crocker of Boardroom Metrics on YouTube. This one titled CEO Tips for Managing in Tough Times.

Crocker has picked up on a theme that is everywhere right now. His spin is to simplify by focusing on four key things:

  1. core business
  2. core customers
  3. core suppliers
  4. core employees

He also points out that focus isn’t just a best practice for managing a business in tough times, it’s a best practice all the time.
