How they’re contributing
At the beginning of things we see the big picture and the end goal. Everything is drawn in broad brushes, lacking detail but full of…
There are people, you’ve met them, I’ve met them, who don’t seem to be doing much. Or, being more charitable, they’re busy, but it’s difficult to see how they’re contributing at the centre of things. Or, being kinder, they must be making some kind of difference but we can’t see what it is. Less kind, they’re wasting their time.
That’s not good for them – and they probably have middle-of-the-night moments when they wonder, “what’s the point?“
It’s not good for anyone else – partly because, er, lack of value add. Partly because of wasted possibility. Mostly because every moment anyone else is thinking about it, they’re not doing something more productive themselves.
For everyone, make it clear how what they do contributes to the bigger picture. Tell them, tell everyone else. And if you can’t … time for a change.
