12: Is It Time To Course Correct

Mt. Nebo Leadership Podcast: Leaders Lift

Summary

Over the last several weeks I've laid out my version of a leadership development program. We started out with foundational elements and went clear through to the point where anyone going through this program would have a solid plan to work on for…well, however long it takes.

One of the things that I did not address is just how dynamic these development plans need to be. If you were working with me on your plan, we would just get through all of those elements, build it into a plan and then assume you could just follow that to the letter and everything would be just fine. I have never seen that happen.

Sure you might be good for a few days or even weeks, but the one thing that I can guarantee is that eventually you will need to adjust that plan. While there will likely be many things that go well, there will also likely be things we didn't anticipate and unfortunately probably some things that just won't go well. That's all to be expected.

So what do we do in those cases? We course correct. That's what I'd like to talk about today. I'll share some stories about course corrections I have had to do in my life, course corrections I should have done and talk about this concept in more depth.
