Getting There
Your mind works like a map application.
You define a destination and quickly chart out a pathway to get there.
The very process of considering a goal, and pathway to get there, can offer more reward-function-activation than the actual process of completing the goal.
Your mind has some distinctions from a map application.
Map applications are accurate at estimation of time; your mind is not.
Map applications effectively make a simple decision around route efficiency; your mind tries to make binary decisions around complex social schema and theoretical scenarios.
Maps and your mind both serve an integral purpose in the process of getting there.
When it comes to the mind, getting there will rarely be the fastest route with fewest stoppages.
As a leader, facilitate your team’s ability to get there while remembering that stops along the way are not always the delay they seem to be.
Your mind will have a plan for getting there.
Reality will remind you that detours exist.
