RESOURCE: time, money, people that you have to build your organization.

Resource allocation: investing your resources that you have in the present to accomplish your goals and purposes in the future. Resource allocation involves balancing competing priorities.

Investing = to devote expecting an exponential return.

Most leaders want to use people to get desired results, but best leaders INVEST in people  helping them get better, and eventually the whole organization gets better.

Most leaders spend their time doing tasks, best leaders intentionally INVEST their time to achieve desired result.

Don’t limit your inventory to what is obvious.
