Get On the Balcony
You’re so busy trying to fix problems, you miss seeing the cause.
You say ‘sorry’ too frequently, you block opportunities to say what should be said.
You know the solution, yet you’re drowning while being in the ‘panic zone’.
These insights have been welcomed.
Taking time to get on the balcony and off the dance floor, provides clarity and time to reset your confidence.
Being a practice of Adaptive Leadership, developing perspective by disrupting the action, you are encouraged to get some distance from the challenge.
This is one of the many practices we’ll explore during the 2023 Leadership Intelligence Program.
It’s the work of Ronald A. Heifetz and Marty Linsky, Adaptive Leadership was penned 20 years ago and still infrequently practised by leaders.
Imagine getting up on the balcony every month to slow down and solve.
I’m looking for 10 people to work with me during 2023 to become more effective leaders.
Tell me what you could see if you got up on the Balcony.
