I have tortured myself over expectations not meant in the time frame that I allotted. Who the heck am I? Someone invented seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years. Everything in this universe is related to time. Problems arise when we try to jam it into these neat little boxes of seconds, minutes, etc.
Dave, I'm on your philisophical wave length brother. The problem is when my boss starts to jam things into the neat little boxes. Or when the bill collector tries to. Or when our kid's activities do. You hearing me man?
I do hear you. I wouldn't mind doing away with the boxes. Could you envision a world without clocks and calendars? The only emphasis would be on our obligations. Do them to the best of our abilities and move on. Without the boxes to place time in, things just are. I have a hunch the Master of yours and my universe operates in such a manner.
Earth to Dave. Earth to Dave.
Sorry. I started wandering outside of my borders again. God I love to do that! Okay, let's begin by just thinking about the stuff that we as individuals have to get done. Let's define it as leadership of our lives. And then let's think about its effect on others.
This is where I hand the discussion off to Adrian Savage . Adrian has created a Web site called Slow Leadership. Here is the Slow Leadership mission:
To help people claim the time they need to develop leadership skills and practice them enough to become proficient.
To help build businesses that last because enough time was taken to perfect their design and build the foundations right.
To help develop future generations of leaders through encouraging organizations to give time for them to learn effectively and create new visions based on their learning.
Adrian has created a refreshing outlook on leadership! Slow Leadership is a must read!
