One of the concepts from our book that has truly struck a chord with people is the concept of doing “More ON Less.” People seem worn out with the old and tired saying and approach of trying to do “more with less, ” which does little to drive great execution or to get the best from people in challenging times. On the other hand, doing More on Less drives focus, concentration of resources, and can generate breakthrough results.

Just recently I spoke at a LeaveSmarter conference and the sponsor posted a video cut of that presentation on YouTube. They selected the section about doing more on less so I thought I’d share it here on the blog. It is a great explanation of what we mean and the challenges that arise when you go with the common phrase and idea of doing more with less, versus doing More on Less.

Several business bloggers have also added to the conversation about doing More on Less and share some added color on how to apply the concept from different perspectives.

“Doing more on less means doing more work, more thinking, and more activity on less stuff. It means focusing employees’ efforts where they count, instead of splitting their attention twenty different ways. ” - Dustin Wax, Lifehack (full post)

“That is, put more money, time, and attention on fewer strategic initiatives. This is a big one, particularly in associations. In general, I think associations try to do to much, and they are afraid to make bold strategic moves. ” - Jamie Notter, Get Me Jamie Notter (full post)

If you haven’t already read it, our free eBook on the www.changethis.com website also goes into some more depth into this topic of doing more on less and of course the book offers a full process and tips for implementing an approach to business that starts with sharp focus, stacking up investments and resources on the most high impact initiatives, and following through for excellence in executing the plans and accelerating performance gains.
