Too many meetings are a mess.
One of the problems: different people working/thinking different ways.
The action-oriented always trying to jump to end points and solutions whilst ……
There are two kinds of people in the world: you, and everyone else.
The big difference? You are the only one hooked up the way you are, and everyone else isn’t.
Which is the way things should always be. Each of us a special darling. Each wired slightly/incredibly different.
The problem comes when we stop expecting the differences. When we start acting like everyone else naturally thinks like us and does things our way. That they are us.
They’re not.
Leadership isn’t about finding the right buttons to push so everyone works to the same specification. Leadership is bringing the talents to the table and working work out together how to do things that would otherwise be impossible – and in a way that keeps all of us engaged and working towards goals we care about.
