Good outcomes and the processes they require take time, patience, and determination. Learning new ideas, establishing new habits, building relationships, creating a high-performance team and the like don’t occur overnight. They take energy, time, and commitment.
“The best leaders recognize their credibility is always defined by their response to the situation, not by the event or episode itself.” I was reminded of Extreme Ownership. The premise is that taking “extreme ownership”, especially when things go sideways, results in strengthening trust and credibility with both your team and those above. That sentence succinctly states such a powerful truth. Leadership wisdom! Thank you.
Years ago, I had an instructor say that we must respond, rather than react. Since then I aspire to respond.
That said, when there's a continuation of bad events, poor performances, little support, and I can't see any ROI, it may be time to move on. Regardless, I tend to overthink and break events down to the most minute details. I have learned the importance of covering one thing, and moving on to the next.
Accountability and taking responsibility for our deeds and failures, in my opinion, is essential to being/becoming a solid human being.
Own your response - and take that response into action s-l-o-w-l-y. It will drive some mad and that is ok. The problem belongs on the hotplate - not the person handling the problem. God's grace is real in those worst situations. Listen - and wait. Peace to you all -JN
