We’re often so quick to take something that exists and bring it to another level.
A presentation already has 15 slides, what if we add 5 more?
There’s already a committee for recruitment, let’s add another for retention.
How can we grow X by 20 percent?
Of course, growth is a good thing … except when it’s not.
And it’s not when we’ve forgotten the why of why we started in the first place.
Too often we fall back on the anchor of where we are, rather than the why of how we got here.
Next time you’re working to elevate an idea, consider how long ago it was at zero and why it all began. You may discover that less is more or maybe adding 5 isn’t enough, you need to add 50.
