The power of the present!
Just a quick one while it comes into my head…if you were ever wondering about how difficult it is to lead and solve adaptive challenges I think you only need to look at the US at the moment. Six people dead, including a nine year old girl and a Federal judge, and a Congresswoman just off the critical list and still there doesn’t look like being any serious debate around the gun laws they have in their country. In fact, gun sales jumped in the few days following the tragedy.
To me it just goes to show how truly awful the present has to be for some people before leaving it becomes a less scary proposition than the uncertainty of change. And that is a real challenge for leadership.
