Both /and.
How is it working for you?
Time to observe how to live your values in a meaningful way.
Time actualize the intentions.
Time to serve others in a way that honours your values and supports the change you want to influence.
Lead yourself well in the both/and.
Leadership is less about tasks and more about providing a healthy, developing context and culture that helps everyone do 'better together'.
Especially this month.
This month, there is so much more on the minds of the people around you.
Notice that.
Name that.
Accommodate what you can. As you can.
And may this Christmas season be meaningful to you, and for all
How is your team showing up?
Hmm, interesting.
Notice and Name.
Lead yourself well.
Sunday check-in.
You can't do it all. But you will believe that you need to do it all. Especially when you are zoomed in to the unending list of tasks at hand. And yes, they all are urgent and all are connected.
Hmmm, interesting thought.
Try this. Zoom out to the vision of yourself operating in this way.
Is it sustainable?
Is it reasonable?
What are the options?
What are the attachments?
What brought you to this place?
Where is this taking you?
If you had no vested interest in this, how would you look at it?
Lead yourself well in the questions that do not have easy answers.
And as much as possible, be intentional about seeing out the joy and humour of being alive on this messy, beautiful planet.
