Too Many Things to Do Anything

Have you ever found yourself in the following place?

"I have and am doing everything I can as the leader, or have thought of. I have this going on and that plan in action and this vision cast and yet - nothing. No change, no growth, no movement. What am I missing?"

Are you there? You know, if you have ever led anything you would probably answer yes. Many of us have been and are probably today.

It is interesting, the more I lead, the more I am finding that sometimes, and more often than not, movement/progress/growth, whatever you want to call it, happens when there are not "too many things happening" and when everyone is focused on one task, one challenge, one momentum booster, one something that INSPIRES.

I wonder if we need to step back as leaders to focus on that one thing, after FINDING that one thing that INSPIRES. Then, for much longer than we generally give it thought, drive that one thing with all we have. Longer than 4 week, or 4 months, or maybe 40 months in some cases. Change and Movement takes time.
