Unite or untie.
Choosing to remain loosely coupled is a choice, it’s just rarely a good one. Unite or untie. Unite is centered by “it” – intentional transformation. Untie is centered with “ti” – terminate intentionally. Leaders must be in the middle of both. Leaders intentionally transform with the few and leaders intentionally terminate the toxic. Leaders cannot be all one with everyone, remember. Leaders, if they’re gonna build something special, something elite, something united, are gonna have to untie from others along the way. Sometimes they’re gonna have to untie from the very people that brought them to the dance. Hard. Fact.
Unite or untie. The elite do not loosely couple often. The elite are either all in or out. You choose. Your choices have consequences…
