One Foot in Front of the Other
In our fast paced world, we overlook the simplicity and necessity of this statement?
We want answers now. We want problems resolved quickly.
Leaders often fall into the same trap. It is easy to think the work should move along faster, goals accomplished sooner, and people respond more quickly.
Personal experience has proven that when a particular work starts quickly, it struggles and usually does not last. At the same time, when thought and patience are given to the same work––strategically developing each part of the plan––success is generally forthcoming.
A good rule of thumb is to take it one step at a time.
