What is Shiny Object Syndrome?
Shiny Object Syndrome is the tendency to chase after the latest and greatest trends without fully understanding the implications. This often leads to over-investment in new ideas that lack any kind of long-term strategic value. As a result, it can be difficult to focus on the tasks and projects that are truly important to your business.


In this video, we’ll discuss the causes and symptoms of Shiny Object Syndrome, as well as strategies for avoiding it. We’ll also look at some examples of how we can stay focused and make progress despite the distractions of the latest trends. By the end, you’ll be equipped with the skills and knowledge to stay on track and make sure you are reaching your goals.
