Excerpt from last week’s quote commentary:

With the number of possible paths and destinations seeming to expand exponentially by the moment, it’s easier than ever to go absolutely nowhere. And for morale and productivity to take a deep dive of despair.  More than ever, we need leaders to take charge, cut through the muck and “lead with intention“.

The thought of this and the resulting pressure is enough to cause many leaders to take a deep dive into a big pile of paperwork or a long series of unproductive meetings.

Both are good places to “hide”.  Both are good ways to avoid taking charge.

None of US would ever do that though, would we?

I didn’t admit it for a long time – mainly because I didn’t realize it.   Instead I thought the meetings and papers (reports, surveys, research) were going to provide the information needed to be certain we chose the right path.  To be certain that we went at the right time and with the right people.  To be certain that we did the right things along the way.

And eventually I became certain that looking for certainty got us the same place as hiding or avoiding.  Or doing absolutely nothing.

It got us absolutely nowhere.

This week’s quote reminds us what to seek instead.

Tomorrow we will post 10 Tips for Finding & Keeping Clarity.
