Systems and structures support sustainability

Colleagues,

Remember the MVP is in the subject line. If you have strong feelings about the change, good or bad, please let us know. Your thoughts are important to us.

My son, Collin and his dog, Ruby, have moved back in with us. They are both up in the morning around 6:30 AM. My routine has been to do yoga or weightlifting when I get up at six and then journal around 6:30, but as I was settling down to write, Collin and Ruby would come up to begin their morning routines and I would lose focus. 

So, I changed my routine. Now I write first, before anyone is up, and then do my morning physical activity. Systems and structures are prerequisites for strategic leadership, but we also need to be able to adapt when circumstances cause them to become obsolete. 

Reflect: is there a system or structure that no longer works for you?

Cheers!

Frederick
