caught up in seemingly adding more activities to ones already overflowing plate, it is even more important that you actively subtract from your plate activities, projects, steps in a process etc., commonly referred to as \u201cthings,\u201d that are not adding value.\u00a0 The art of subtraction allows one the opportunity to do more with less because we focus on those \u201cthings\u201d that are not important now, although they most likely were at one time.\u00a0 To do this, it takes a \u201cwait a minute, why are we doing it this way\u201d mindset and more importantly, it takes the discipline to stop and ask why are we doing it this way or why are we doing it at all.<\/p>\n<p>You are most likely engaged in daily activities that are part of your organization\u2019s plan.\u00a0 Things that are not supportive of these are candidates for subtraction and should be reviewed to see if they still need to be done or done the same way.\u00a0 One may need to put their \u201cpride of authorship\u201d aside if a candidate for subtraction is one you may have \u201cdeveloped.\u201d\u00a0 This should not be taken personal as I am sure at one time it was important to be done or to be done that way.\u00a0 One should always address a candidate for subtraction with respect for others.<\/p>\n<p>Effective leaders and organizations are as skilled in subtracting, doing away with things that do not add value, as they are in doing things that add value.\u00a0 Make sure you are actively practicing the \u201cart of subtraction\u201d effectively in your actions and within your organizations.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0&#8211;Mario
