Looking up and out

Our work inevitably involves looking down, and in.

That's important if we want to keep everything running smoothly. Our teams, our systems, ourselves.

But we also have to look up, and out.

That's important for keeping things moving forward. Our programs, our relationships, our mission.

Here's the thing:

If your tools, systems, or staff aren't operating smoothly, it's worth some time and effort to get that fixed.

That will require looking down and in, and doing the work on the inside.

But the sooner you can get that resolved, the more you'll be able to look up and out.

So you can do the work on the outside, where your real mission is.

All the best,
A.
