Recommendation

The word “quicksand” encapsulates many leadership challenges. You can get mired in quicksand without realizing it. You might not expect functions you don’t even manage to delay your work and blunt your ability to meet your goals or influence others, but unforeseen complications always loom. However, fast-food executive Mark Miller, also the author of The Heart of Leadership and Chess, Not Checkers, explains that you also have a remarkable way to deal with such problems, a skill you use constantly without thinking about it: the ability to make the right decision.To control the quicksand, he says, make these choices: “confront reality,” increase your capacity, encourage curiosity and promote change.

Take-Aways

  • Pick the right cup.
  • Leaders often get bogged down in “quicksand” challenges.
  • You have a remarkable ability you use frequently, probably without thinking about it: “the power to make choices.”
