Let's Be Honest: It's Easy to Complain

We all have aspects of our professional lives we'd like to improve—a challenging project, a difficult stakeholder, company culture shifts, tight budgets, or team dynamics. As leaders, these obstacles are part of our daily landscape.

But here's the pivotal question:

What are you doing about it?

It's easy—even tempting—to do nothing. To vent, to pull back, to disengage. But as leaders, complacency isn't in our DNA and we have to make sure it doesn't take root in our teams.

When faced with a challenge, we have two paths:

1. Remain Uncommitted

o Complain and commiserate. It's effortless to find others who will join in, consuming valuable time and energy without forward movement.

2. Commit to Action

o Take ownership of the challenge. This means stepping up to find solutions, dedicating time and resources to make a tangible difference, and leading by example.

"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." — Wayne Gretzky

Isn't it time to move from the bench to the game? To shift from uncommitted to fully invested in creating better outcomes—for yourself, your team, and your organization.

As we approach 2025, consider this your call to action:

• Embrace the challenges as opportunities for growth.

• Lead with purpose and intention.

• Inspire your team to reach new heights.

Or... you can continue on the same path.

Which path are you ready to embrace to win?

Spot on Beverly! Not 100% sure, but I think when we met during our corporate life, you told me something about "commited complaints" being valid. And I loved that!
