I’m still cleaning out drawers. After almost twenty years in the volunteer manager business, I don’t think this chore is going to end any time soon.
Anyway, I found a packet from a workshop I did in 1992. It was on leadership and on the very first page there was a quote from John Foster Dulles, Secty of State under Eisenhower. He said, ” The measure of success is not whether you have a tough problem to deal with, but whether it’s the same problem you had last year.”
That makes me stop and think! Do you continue to have the same problems, complaints or concerns year after year? Maybe it’s time to take a deeper look at yourself and how you do things.
Have any suggestions for how someone can get off this treadmill?
