"Your attention is a crucial asset and resource. Its proper application can be a differentiating factor in your life and work, in distinguishing you in relation to other people and, crucially, in what you can offer to the world that artificial intelligence/AI can't. Attention can also be a valuable component of self-development. Thinking of attention as one of your most closely-guarded assets can be life-changing."
"Peter Drucker, the founding father of modern management, was a master of inwardly and outwardly-focused attention, a major contributing factor to his success as a writer, professor, and consultant in a career spanning more than 70 years. He kept an attentive eye and ear for information that helped him see around corners and glimpse a future that others could not. He listened carefully while interacting with his students at the Drucker School of Management and with his consulting clients."
Attention is a crucial personal asset whose proper application differentiates individuals in life and work and enables offerings that artificial intelligence cannot replicate. Attention functions as a component of self-development; treating attention as a closely guarded asset can be life-changing. Inner resources such as listening, observation, mindfulness, memory, self-awareness, self-efficacy, and mind-body connection help place attention where it belongs. Peter Drucker exemplified disciplined attention, using inward and outward focus to anticipate future trends and support a seven-decade career as writer, professor, and consultant. Focus enabled his extensive writing and teaching, and early journalistic experience taught attention to detail.
