Leaders are constantly pulled between tasks and people. This is normal. In fact, many definitions of leadership involve the idea of getting tasks done through people. This tension between tasks and people is one of the hardest tensions leaders live in, and I believe it’s gotten harder in recent years.

One of the greatest challenges for leaders is discerning who should get their time. We want to help everyone, but, at some point, we all realize we cannot and should not say yes to every request.   If we are not laser focused on our discernment of time requests we find ourselves trying to chase some of those people down. Many times they have no desire to change or grow, but they want something from us, so we invest in them anyway. It’s crucial for us to remember that only the hungry change. It cannot be forced.    Why do we do chase people down even when they aren’t hungry to change?    Level your leadership in 2022 Right Side Up Collective Purchase a Right Side Up Journal Schedule your FREE breakthrough coaching session
