Are you in a rut?

2/15/2022

Colleagues,

Seth Godin’s daily email from February 3, 2022, is all about strategic leadership.
 
The basic message is that we dig ruts for ourselves, but that escaping them is a choice we can all make.
 
This is the epitome of strategic leadership:
  • We choose each day whether to be intentional by prioritizing based on purpose or to be reactive to what is most urgent.
  • We choose, when faced with a challenge, to stop and ask “why is this happening?” or to jump into action to treat the symptom.
  • We choose to focus on making immediate incremental improvements or cooking up big ideas that we won’t have time to follow through on.
  • We choose to invest in growing people at every opportunity or to focus on our tasks and to-do lists.
 
We choose, which is beautiful and scary at the same time.
 
However, what is amazing is that we get to make these choices every day!
 
This morning, it doesn’t matter what choices you made yesterday or the day before that. It doesn’t matter what choices you will make tomorrow. The only thing that matters is the choices you will make today.
 
Try this: pick one of those bullet points and hold it close today. Be mindful and work to be strategic in just one of those areas.
 
Cheers!
 
Frederick
