Clarifying
Stop putting out fires, start leading
My tagline for a long time has been “simple solutions to complex problems” or stop putting out fires and start leading. Both of those are really about clarifying what is really important.
People that I have worked with have said that I help them see things that they couldn’t see before.
If something isn’t simple, nobody is going to do it.
Simple doesn’t mean easy. It means that you can grasp it and understand it in such a way that you will actually have a chance of accomplishing it.
In my schools, we had one underlying vision that was so clear, people always knew if they were achieving it or not. There didn’t need to be judgment because they knew themselves. Again, not easy, but simple.
For a long time, my tagline has been “simple solutions to complex problems” and “stop putting out fires and start leading.” Both emphasize the importance of clarifying priorities. People I’ve worked with often say that I help them see things they couldn’t before.
Simplicity is key; if something isn’t simple, it’s unlikely anyone will do it. Simple doesn’t mean easy, but rather comprehensible enough to have a chance at accomplishment. In my schools, we had one clear vision that allowed people to know whether they were achieving it or not – no judgment needed. While not always easy, simplicity is crucial for success.
