The don’t-doer
As you grow, things come up that just get done. It’s no one’s particular responsibility and everyone kind of mucks in and gets on with it.…
Things don’t get done if people don’t do them.
Things: stuff that needs to happen. If this stuff is left hanging, other things – maybe more important things, dependent things, things that other people are waiting to do, things that you’d like to happen – won’t get done either. And your world, and those of people around you, will grind to a hang on, we’re-just-killing-time, frustration-fest.
Don’t get done: remain … erm … hold on there, won’t be long now … erm …
People: could be you, could be one of your team, could be someone you depend on, could be someone you need to act.
Don’t do them: do nothing. Nothing useful or actionable or definitive. Breathe in, breathe out, do nothing.
Get in the car and pull out of the driveway.
Don’t be the don’t-doer.
Do what you say you’re going to do, and make sure your team do to.
