Do you play?

Colleagues,

A little over a year ago I committed to learning to play the guitar.
 
I have tried multiple times but always given up after a month or two.
 
This time has been different, and I can now say “Yes, I play guitar.” Not very well, but enough.
 
I have two big barriers to getting better:

• I don’t practice enough
• I am on my own

 
It’s hard to get better when I don’t intentionally invest time in practicing new skills, and there is nobody to help me improve my technique or to play along with.
 
Yes, I can (and do) use videos and apps, but they can’t take the place of a real person.
 
Our leadership is that way. We won’t grow as leaders without being intentional, and it is harder to grow in isolation. 
 
I hope that I am one part of your leadership growth support system, but you need more than just me =;^}
 
Reflect:

• What is one specific skill you would like to develop next week?
• Who is one person that can help you?

 
FYI, there will be a special edition on Sunday morning. Serious and emotional, but also special.
 
Cheers!
