Accused and Abused... but Forging Ahead

I must first apologize if this post is gauge in any way, I expect it to be in many ways.  Last week ended a week that was.  Accused and abused on many fronts.  Doors slammed in my face and the recipient of many opinions passed along from people I don't, and won't, follow.  Yet, I will forge ahead.

Maybe I am just coming to the realization that the world seems to be in trouble.  The world is so full of people who feel entitled; people who's way of thinking feels so far out in left field, it is no wonder anymore why the world is headed in the direction it is going in.  Heaven help us.

Let's get positive and find a better way and move in the right direction.

As the graphic I've included indicates, a good leader is just someone that has a vision, finds the correct resources and points the way.  The staff is where all the heavy lifting comes from.  They do the work, they make it happen.  They are critical.  However, when they lack the ability to see the vision; are resistant to change and can't get on board and move in the right direction...  work stops.  No where in "Made to Stick" or "Switch", both by Chip and Dan Heath do they talk about great companies or companies that were able to make the switch doing so with people that were no on board or capable of being on board.

Time to start looking at who's on the bench and get the right people on the bus.  When those on the team stop playing or create too much hate and discontent, it's time to look for replacements.  When the team as a whole starts to go south, it's time to look for a new team.
