Three simple questions
November 16th, 2006
This post is simple. I just want to ask you three questions. I hope you will think about them the next time you are involved in a conversation about the future of your association:
1. What are you learning about the future that excites you?
2. What are you learning about the future that concerns you?
3. Are you motivated more by the excitement or the concern?
If you’re motivated more by the concern, you probably prefer to play it safe. If you’re motivated by the excitement, you probably want to innovate. My advice is to not let your concerns about the future drive the future of your association. Leaders know that when excitement drives the organization’s work, great things will happen!
