Leading Change: Pick Up Your Own Room (But No One Else’s) . . .
Just this morning, my wife Holly caught me red-handed straightening up my 12 year-olds room.
This, not 2 hours after we both communicated to our precious Katie in no uncertain terms that she would go no where, see no one, do no thing until she removed the eaten sandwich, empty sprite cans, soiled laundry . . . and only the Creator knows what else… to reveal what once was, and could be again a nicely appointed pre-teen bedroom.
As Holly observed (and shared in a manner unfit to print here)…
I was truly serving no purpose and no one by doing Katies job for her. Not me, not the family, and certainly not Katie.
Sponsors, Change Leaders, Consultants Are you Picking Up Someone Elses Room? Trying to get someone else to pick up yours?
If your organization is engaged in change — and it is — there are literally & figuratively places you can not go, people you can not see, and things you can not do until your room is picked up . . . and Only You can do it.
Attention Change Sponsors:
1) YOU CAN NOT DELEGATE SPONSORSHIP.
