Hi Jose,
Thanks for sharing those thoughts. I like what you said about where leaders (and everyone else) might have the skills and abilities to handle one situation and when another comes along that is slightly different, they might struggle. This is where all the learning and growth comes into play! Indeed they do need to be mindful to balance out the drive to achieve goals with ensuring that everyone is on board with the changes as they evolve.

Of course, this is simplistic, but in a change situation clear vision and how to get the goals done is all important, but when we are trying to regain stability and build processes this drive may not be the right way for the team or business. Just some thoughts.
