The Power of Keystone Habits. AI-Generated.
In today’s fast-paced and constantly connected world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the countless demands on our time and attention. We’re bombarded with advice on how to be healthier, more productive, more successful, and more fulfilled—often leaving us feeling like we’re falling short in every area.

Keystone Habits: How Paul O'Neill Transformed Alcoa Through One Simple Focus. AI-Generated.
When Paul O’Neill took the stage for his first speech as the newly appointed CEO of Alcoa in 1987, expectations were high. Shareholders, analysts, and board members anticipated bold strategies centered on profitability, market share, and aggressive financial targets. But O’Neill surprised everyone. He didn’t mention revenue growth, cost-cutting, or shareholder returns. Instead, he focused entirely on one issue: worker safety. He declared that his top priority was to make Alcoa the safest company in America, where not a single employee would be injured on the job. Confusion and concern rippled through the investor community—was this man serious? What about the bottom line?
