Resolutions, goals, measurable results, excitement about what we are "finally" going to commit to is what fuels us to step into the unknown, the uncharted territory of ourselves. We sign up for the weight loss plans, vow to quit that unattractive habit and shore ourselves up to begin anew. And what is more, we carry the belief that life is about to change into the workplace, allowing ourselves to dream big! "This department is going to change.", "My relationship with ____ is about to turn the corner.", "I have the ability to get out of this organization and start the business I always wanted."..........
And, two - four weeks later, we more often than not find ourselves right back where we started- frustrated, dissapointed and, in some cases, even desperate for the change we wished for. We give up before we even gave ourselves and each other the chance to make the change. And the cycle begins again.
Have you ever asked yourself the REAL reason why these change attempts fail? We will give you a hint- it has to do with courage, and not the kind that comes from the cowardly lion. Courage comes as part of a formula that defines your effectiveness and satisfaction as a human being and a leader. The formula has to do with not WHAT you focus on, but WHERE you focus your attention.
