You nailed it with that split. Focus vs Coordination aims to be a bit less verbose, but what I really mean is "doing stuff well" vs "aligning on the stuff we should do". It's also important to emphasize that doing stuff well is much harder than doing stuff, and thus less compatible with talking and alignment. And same for the other side. We can talk all we want, but actually aligning requires intention and attention. And that coordination-attention draws energy from our execution-attention.
