The Power of the Pause
Pause.
It’s hard to make a change while you are in motion; following the traditional scripts, assuming the usual assumptions, heading in the same direction as you always have.
How often do you ask, “is this still the right direction?” – the right decision?
That requires us to pause.
We need to stop doing what we are busy doing long enough to notice.
With senior execs it usually requires scheduling a meeting to discuss, not what are we working on but, what should we be focused on.
It’s working on the business, not in the business.
In the pause we lift our head, we look around, we observe.
When we take that pause it can allow for:
💡 Fresh ideas
💡 New conversations
💡 Innovation
It could mean that we can get rid of policies, procedures, and old ways of working.
In the pause we can challenge our scripts, unravel the red tape, and make sure we are going in the right (new) direction.
