Don't Wait for Change

VRS said Nov 13, 2006, 4:40 AM:
 

I have my strengths. And my flaws (like every human around us). One of my weaknesses is impatience. I just have this aching need to get great things done. Can't stand slow change. Need to have my impact - and spend my talents (we all have them) - now.

Like every weakness, it's also a great source of success. I move things forward fast. Just love speed. Only results matter (I'm generalizing). Makes me think of what Clint Eastwood said in the latest issue of Best Life: “Sometimes if you want to see a change for the better, you have to take things into your own hands.” Exactly.

Sure, work with your team. Collaborate. Delegate to others who have strengths where you don't. But sometimes, you just need to be the one to drive the change when everyone else is waiting for someone else to take the first step. To me, that's courage in action. To me, that's using your life well. To me, that's leadership - and standing for being extraordinary.
