The teams I have worked with over the years have likely grown weary of hearing this steady admonition from me: "If we can't model it, we can't demand it."
As I think about that declaration -- while looking in my own metaphorical mirror -- several dimensions of this assertion seem relevant. I cannot demand of others the following if I cannot model it myself...
- Intentional growth and learning.
- Deep commitment to continuous improvement.
- Stretching to engage with "different" and more folks.
- Habits that foster physical, emotional, intellectual health.
- Seeking to gain a different perspective of intractable problems.
- Leaning into discomfort and novelty, rather than avoiding it at all risks.
That ought to be a good start on my day.
Come on in. The water's..................well, a little uncomfortable.
