It’s inevitable…

One of my clients told his team, during one of our recent practices, that “it’s inevitable.”  I about lost it.

It doesn’t matter the circumstances or the situation, no team gives their whole heart to a leader who utters those two little words.  If it’s inevitable, why do we need you to lead us?  If it’s inevitable, why do you want to lead us there?  If it’s inevitable, why don’t we just surrender now and get it over with?

Your team wants you to lead.  They want you to tell them the unvarnished truth in LOVE about the current state, they want you to lead them toward your dream state, and they want you to model the way forward regardless the pain and suffering.  Period.  Leaders understand that is the responsibility of being a leader.  It’s simply…

Inevitable.

  1. No Chet, leadership is “uninevitable”…not a sure thing anytime, anyplace, with anyone. Right on, right on, right on!
