In meetings, as in education, we need to connect the dots, not collect the dots.

Discipline

What do you do when you don’t feel like it? Especially then.

It’s been said that discipline is how you earn freedom; freedom in the sense of being able to do what you want with your time. Freedom, with a capital, is of course an inherent right. I tend to add systems and queues (a fancy word for piles of stuff to do) to both get things out of my head and to impose some order.

But to answer Godin’s question specifically: When I really don’t feel like doing any of the things I’ve set myself up for, I step back and survey. Because it’s usually a sound indicator that I’ve got too many things I’m imagining I’m going to get done.

For better meetings, Albert Einstein, Oscar Wilde, and Seth Godin agree that we need to focus on learning, not education!

Things that feel risky.
Often aren’t.
In fact, they might be the safest way forward.

Zu gut, um es nicht zu teilen. 🤗

The easiest form of management is to encourage or demand that people do more. The other translation of this phrase is to go faster. The most important and difficult form of management (verging on leadership) is to encourage people to do better. Better is trickier than more because people have trouble visualizing themselves doing better. It requires education and coaching and patience to create a team of people who are better.
