Emerge Stronger | Lesson From The Fire Part 1
There I was with a large pile trees. Literal trees. And then there were the necessary supplies. Diesel fuel, lighter fluid and matches. The idea was simple - burn the pile.
The fire burned for about 45 seconds and then fizzled out … It was great and then it wasn’t. The pile of trees was still there.
This experience made me remember: Good leaders with great ideas fail to create healthy work cultures far too often.
It’s not because they are bad leaders and it’s not because they don’t care. It’s because they try to force the change too quickly. You know - douse it with diesel instead of actual preparation.
Great ideas without proper preparation fizzle out.
Too often we try to drive change, it turns out like when men try to start fires. Quickly and poorly. It’s exciting at first and we get enough response to create a press release, but it doesn’t last.
