Believing What You Believe

Believing what you believe can be very dangerous at times. Not referring to religious and/or spiritual, or political beliefs. I am referring to what you believe about executing a project, task, or operations in your organization. For example, you believe that a certain task requires X hours, Y people, and Z other resources to get the job done. Why is that? Because that’s what it took to get it done the other 100 times you did it. Cool, seems logical. Why fix it if it ain’t broke?

BUT! What if there is a better way? Have you allowed such a bias towards knowing how to execute certain things to rob you of the opportunity to allow others to help you assess and develop a better plan, allow them to lead, and allow yourself the opportunity to let a new creative solution take care of this task?

Not suggesting that you spend forever and days you don’t have every time you do something that’s is one of your standard operations of produce a typical deliverable for your business. What I am suggesting is that although you are often in familiar territory, and there are some tried and true methods to employ, give yourself the opportunity to pry your mind open and allow some input that could result in something even better than before. Allow some diversity in thought and approach that give you a chance to experiment, build some capacity on your team, and try new methods versus just believing that the way it’s always done is the best way in a particular situation.

This idea is expanded upon on a recording on the Revival Podcast (https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/QpPeTPspBsb) back in May. Check it out https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/gsqMJuxpBsb
