Could multitasking be harming your business rather than helping it? Former RAF helicopter pilot and squadron leader Sarah Furness thinks so. Drawing from her military experience and mindfulness training, she challenges the common belief that multitasking boosts productivity. Instead, she advocates for "uni-tasking"—focusing on one high-value task at a time—as a more effective, less stressful path to performance. In her upcoming Vistage session, Sarah will explore how shifting away from multitasking could reduce burnout, improve efficiency, and help leaders build stronger, high-performing teams.

Randy Fields built up a thriving medical implant company over the course of 30 years. He sold the business in 1999, joined Vistage as a member, and sold his second business in 2007. As he deliberated what to do next, his Vistage group recommended a book that discussed "shifting from success to significance". Five years later, he did just that when he became a Vistage Chair. "It's thrilling to have the ability to impact people's lives", Randy says.
