Obstacles

There will sometimes be obstacles. Obstacles are not distractions.

Obstacles are barriers in the way of the Vision – they impede progress. They are real and cannot be ignored. Obstacles don't just go away with hope. If they cannot be taken down, a detour must be built around them.

Some leaders ignore obstacles, thinking that by pretending an obstruction is really just a distraction, it will somehow magically disappear. They demoralize.

Great leaders:

  1. Identify and acknowledge obstacles – they do not ignore them or confuse them with distractions.
  2. Deliberately and quickly collaborate with the team, developing plans and strategies to effectively deal with them.
  3. Don't allow obstacles to cause them to lose sight of the Vision.

They energize!
