Recently I was in a meeting with my management team.
A question was raised.
There was a millisecond available to me to choose whether to justify our current position, or to question it.
The moment was only a fraction of a second.
Fortunately I chose to question our position.
It opened up a can of worms.
I had to admit I was wrong.
That led to some tough decisions being made and some uncomfortable conversations.
And we are a better organisation as a result.
Life is a series of moments, and in each of those moments doors open.
Sometimes the doors don’t stay open beyond those moments.
No matter where you look, all ancient wisdom points to one thing…
We don’t always take the straight path. Sometimes we take the long road. Or no road at all.
Recently I’ve been making a conscious effort to say nice things to people.
