Have you ever found yourself going round and round about a situation only to find yourself getting more worked up and less clear?

If so, we’re in this together.

I’ve written before that I’m in a season of life with a lot of moving pieces. We sold our house, put our possessions in storage, and are living in a rental while we finish building our new place. And that’s only one part of what has felt uncertain for us over the past year.

My last post introduced the idea of creating a five-question Change Story to communicate the what and why of a change you’re leading. The premise is straightforward: Leaders at every level need a coherent story that makes the case for the change.

There’s another equally important consideration:
When is it time to stop seeking input so you can make a decision and act?

Are you struggling to get buy-in for a change you’re leading?
Have you chalked it up to “resistance to change”?

It may be time to look again.
