The tortoise and the hare. Remember that one? Brings back some great memories. Doesn't it? Specifically...the one with Bugs Bunny as the hare. Ah...good times!
On a separate note...my six year old simply scratches her head at the mention of Bugs Bunny. "Who's that," she asks? Oh...woe as me. Where have I gone wrong as her father!
Anyways...back to the tortoise and the hare.
As a leader, should we run the race as the tortoise? The outcome? Well...little will ever change. It's just about the same step today as tomorrow. Step after step. Ever so slow. Little to no progress...no good at all.
So, what about the hare? Only if you love chaos, confusion, and headache. Although a silly illustration...just eat ice cream too fast and what do you get? Headache! Lead too fast...headache as well...only more like a migraine.
The magic comes with the pace. Not too slow and not too fast...but, reframing expectations day in and day out. Leading at the pace of change. Or, as Ron Heifetz says, disappointing people at a rate they can tolerate.
So...how do we find the right pace? Your thoughts?
