Leadership includes everything at HQ

As a homeowner (leader, CEO), we are responsible for everything at our HQ.

Even the things that catch us off guard and clamor for our precious time and attention.

Two weekends ago we filled in 60 holes in our yard, dug by wild animals searching for food.

This digging, and the dangerous holes, will continue indefinitely unless the animals are caught and relocated to a nature preserve.

This is time consuming and distracting.

And necessary.

Figure it out. Right?

Think about it for a second.

As much as we’d like other’s to take an interest and care

A random walk downstairs (from the main conference center) led to the discovery of this meeting room and message

 

We must be the initiator of our own professional development.

As much as we’d like other’s to take an interest and care for our professional well being, the odds are very high that everyone else is just as busy as us.

And often (daily?) we (all of us?) are just trying to survive the day.
