Dangerous Phrases...

You’ve heard these dangerous business phrases before...

  • We’ve always done it that way. 
  • We tried that before.
  • That’s not my job.

Except it’s so easy to slide back into them.

They subtly creep back into your life when...

You are overly busy. 

Yes, busyness will take you backwards. It will get you and your team stuck. 

Because when you’re the leader and you feel stuck, you stifle your team’s progress.

Just look at it from your ability to make decisions:

  • Indecision
  • Poor judgement
  • Hurried decisions
  • Inconsistency 

These are not the behaviors of good leaders.
