Leadership Tip
How Can Cleaning Your Closet Benefit Your Relationships?
I have been cleaning out
my closets as many
of us
do at this time of year.
The process reminds me of people
and dynamics
in an organization.
Like pieces in our wardrobe,
some are more
comfortable
and we choose to be with them
most of the time.
Just like our favorite outfits,
we have our “go to” people
with whom we bounce ideas
and share confidences.
Other items in my closet
will work if I alter
them.
Perhaps some relationships
work better when we
alter
our approach.
They fit better when we make changes.
Other garments can work
if I pair them with
new seasonal items.
I do not need to get rid of them;
they
just need a new perspective.
Do you know people or
situations that could
benefit
from updated thinking?
How would a fresh view
make
an impact?
How could you facilitate a makeover?
I do have some pieces
that are not a good fit
anymore.
I need to let them go.
Perhaps there are people
in
your organization who
do not fit into the culture or
who are
not performing.
It could be time to let them
find a better fit
elsewhere.
Cleaning out your closet
can give you a new
perspective.
It certainly creates space
for possibilities!
