Busy doesn’t create change...it gets things done. The house gets cleaned, the stack of orders gets processed, the phone gets answered, etc.
Leadership...creating, leaning-in, solving a problem and persuading others to go with you when there’s a risk of failure creates change.
Busy is necessary because tasks need to be completed. But we shouldn’t confuse those actions with making things better by leading change. They require vastly different skillsets…and mindsets.
We can be busy for a lifetime and never achieve the change we seek to make. Or we can also get busy leading.
Choose wisely.
