Don't Miss This Perspective
Last Thursday night I was at the gym working out and a thought struck me:
"When someone shares their perspective, always keep in mind the wounds of their life upon which that perspective is based. No one has perfect perspective."
The older I get, and our young adopted kids have joked that my age is actually over 100 years, I become more convinced that everyone is wounded. Those wounds, which start in our childhood and expand into the present, affect our perspective and how we interact with others.
Later that night I decided to open an email that my son, Jeff, had forwarded me with a customer service story. It is a great reminder that people are often angry about something other than what it seems. Don't miss this story! You may want to use it as a discussion topic during a future team meeting.
I believe in you.
It is Monday. ACCOUNTABILITY TIME!
- Did you take Sanctuary time over the weekend to improve your focus?
- How did you do on your 3Strands last week?
- Have you defined your 3Strands for this week?
- By 9:00 a.m. this morning you should have 3Strands emails from each of your direct reports.
Stay on track.
