Situations can easily constrict your creativity.
“We’re not going to make it through third quarter” is a preventing mindset that puts a stop to “What can we do differently to succeed past third quarter?”
Instead, better to say, “Given our current situation and how we do things, we won’t make it through third quarter.”
That opens up a dialogue, it invites creativity, it provides some breathing room for people to alter their previously held beliefs of standing still to begin moving forward in a new direction, toward a new situation.
Stay Positive & Don’t Stand Still
