Midpoint
In 34 days the year is 50% complete.
What does your midpoint status update look like?
This question illuminates two useful perspectives.
The pit in your stomach that may have just become a bowling ball is a good perspective and call to action.
Perhaps another perspective is emerging: while progress is not where you expected, you see that its trajectory is non-linear but on-track.
Both perspectives are helpful at a midpoint.
As a leader sometimes you need to be the gut-check to get moving.
Other times you need to facilitate a broader perspective that helps the team reconsider what was previously understood.
The real skill lies in knowing how to offer these perspectives at the midpoint while there is still time to reposition and mobilize.
