Leaning in - Circle of Concern, Effectiveness and Understanding

 This relates to Covey's advice along these lines. We need to channel our energies to:

  • Things that concern us. Don't waste energy "renting yourself out" or giving in to "moral outrage";
  • Things where we can make a difference;
  • Things we understand.
What's new in this post is the last item: things we understand. This aligns with another Covey dictum:

Seek first to understand
