Stopping Oneself
"What prevents me from making the changes I know will make me a more effective leader?"- Marshall Goldsmith question in Inc.'s 35 Great Questions article
When I read this question I immediately thought why should it be limited to leadership. Not every one of us is a leader. Some of us are doers.
The question could easily be rephrased as:.
"What prevents me from making the changes I know will make me a more effective X?" where X is anything you feel needs improving. If you want to be a better boss then you fill boss for X. A better parent? Better husband? Better X where X is meaningful for you.
The question is really a gap identifier. If answered honestly you should be able to quickly state what needs to change in order for you to be a better X. Now making yourself change it is another hurdle.
Today's question is:
