From zero to hero by kicking inaction and busywork to the curb
Inertia
can’t move
stuck.
It’s one of these things in professional and personal life…
What is?
People just don’t move from agreed actions to actually doing stuff.
For example: imagine being on a team of high-class professionals organizing an international event. You have all shared tasks, and taken them upon yourselves to do stuff to move the event forward; invites, research, invitations, all the classical event-planning stuff. One of the team members has agreed to organize all the refreshment for the day of the event. This means organizing the booking and financial processes with the caterer and administration team. Two months ago, everyone agreed… bada-bing! What can go wrong?
Err… no refreshments were booked. No coffees, food, or meal reservations, bookings, or payment processes, done. Nada… nothing… no action.
The clock is ticking.
Now you are down to 4 weeks…
nothing.
3 weeks…
nothing.
So either you take control and pick up the pieces, or you let it die.
You know… create a learning moment:
Don’t worry that it will be an international embarrassment, which you will all feel…
Perh…
