Leadership decisions will rarely gain 100% agreement

Teen and seniors
An ordinary moment yesterday.

 

Leadership decisions will rarely gain 100% agreement.

This is insidiously tricky.

When we want to please everyone we do not follow our instinct.

Yesterday my instinct said we need to get outside and walk.

But wait, our time with one of them is limited because he’s over in the adjacent nursing home.

Will we send the wrong message if we leave for an hour? Is it selfish? Is it right? Is it helpful?

When our health is something we are willing defend, we should never lose it.

Never, no matter the cost?

Learning not to judge is a lifetime endeavor. We make progress – and then, when and where we least expect it, we catch ourselves (if we’re lucky) failing.

Each time we fail is an opportunity to improve.

This takes guts to believe and and even more guts to embrace.

Humbled by the career aging process.

Everyone at Brookview and Cedarbrook has a story.

Each one contributing to society in their own unique way.

And now, it’s a bit like an unsolved mystery. No one knows. Decent chance no one cares.

What does this mean to us working folk?

There’s something to this and you’re the first to hear about it. Aging scares many people. So does retirement. We shouldn’t be afraid of either. But we are. And the end result is we avoid thinking about endings. Have already begun changing that… been working on it for 3.5 years so far…
