Isn’t it strange how often force is mistaken for influence?
If people are not moving, leaders push harder.
Raise the stakes.
Raise the volume.
But by doing so they create counter-force. Resistance.
And so, even if people will eventually move, it costs so much energy on both sides. Simply exhausting.
Others play a very different game.
They do not force movement.
They make direction unmistakably clear.
In a way that makes sense and feels right for the team.
Movement becomes the natural response.
Don’t persuade harder, resonate stronger!
And keep lighting the path,
Michael
