Sometimes working harder is not the answer
The issue may not be effort. It may be a decision that has not been made.
Many leadership challenges are not caused by a lack of intelligence, experience, or effort. They are often connected to a decision that has been postponed, a conversation that has been avoided, or a responsibility that has not been clarified.
- A difficult conversation that needs to happen
- A responsibility that needs to be delegated
- A standard or expectation that needs clarification
- A relationship that needs attention
- A change everyone knows is necessary but no one has addressed
