I drove on the Ohio Turnpike this morning, and after a tense weaving in-and-out-of cones, dodging traffic and rain showers, I finally got to my exit.
And had to wait…
- Do you have solutions, but others aren’t ready to implement?
- Are you able to see the vision, but others just can’t figure it out?
- Is the path clear for you, but murky for others?
What’s holding you back?
How can you communicate your needs, your vision, your solution in such a way that a few more lanes open up, and possibilities begin to emerge? What questions would help clarify?
And even if all the lanes finally open, are you ready to go around when conditions change last minute?
Or do you wait in line to get there? Patiently, nerves twitching, and emotions building, an explosion of frustration nearby?
For most projects, like the Turnpike, do we even need gates to hold people back from performing? Can’t we just trust those around us to do the right thing, to drive the mission, to launch the project, and to help the whole team excel?
I think we can.
PS – If you don’t have an EZ Pass, please get one…
