Creating anything takes great planning. Unfortunately, things don’t always go as planned.
· The best plans
· Often go awry.
· Our job is to get
· Them back on track.
You can’t let minor problems and unexpected delays stop you from finishing what you started. Every project I ever worked on was replete with plans, some of which didn’t go as expected. When things fail, trick is to stop, study the problem, get input from everyone involved, collaborate on solving the problem, communicate the new plan clearly, and get restarted as quickly as possible. Don’t stand there with your finger in your ear – someone’s got to lean in and start this and it might as well be you. Because time is critical – the longer you delay the more momentum you lose. Don’t be hasty, but don’t waste any time. Stepping into this kind of crack is a sign of leadership and that’s what everyone looks for in moments like this. Getting people going again stops them from losing focus, and taking small steps is better than doing nothing. Failure doesn’t mean anyone’s bad, only that someone or something wasn’t as good as it should have been. In business, as in life, pointing fingers doesn’t solve problems – people do. If something’s broken, just lean into the crack and fix it today.
