So yesterday was a write off, but today is a new day. I pick myself up and start again.
My first task today is guiding a Quiet Leadership journey, and have just shared to the group some of the work on Imperfect Leadership. In this perspective, we recognise that leadership is inherently imperfect, and we seek to be in dialogue with our imperfection. This is not about ‘good’ and ‘bad’ outcomes, but rather about how we cast shadows and cause impact. And we cannot be endlessly ‘good’.
The demands placed upon us by others, and the expectation that we place upon ourselves, these things create contexts where we all stumble at times.
We all make a journey, and some days we travel further than others.
Use your sixty seconds today for yourself. A moment, to breathe, to look out of the window.
Not as a purposeless activity, but a deliberate one. Reflect on how much of your time truly lies under your control, and how often you are simply busy.
