Comparison to your past self is often more useful than comparison to where you think you should be. The gap to your goal can feel unchanged day to day, while the gap from who you were a year ago usually shows real, measurable change that your mind just normalizes too quickly.

Comparison to your past self is often more useful than comparison to where you think you should be. The gap to your goal can feel unchanged day to day, while the gap from who you were a year ago usually shows real, measurable change that your mind just normalizes too quickly.

When leadership becomes centered around always being right, it slowly replaces curiosity with control. The room gets quieter, not because people agree, but because they stop contributing. The fear factor keeps it quiet. Companies loose real money on projects, because being right is more important than doing the steps insuring right mindset, learning how to solve unforeseen action.

Always be curious, ask the questions. This will help you grow and the group grow to have tools and mindset.
