Business Decision: Can you let go of the good things?
I was thinking about how easy it is to make really quick decisions that can turn out to be not so good. The I ran across this quote that I had to read a couple of times for it to sink in.
Leadership is the art of exchanging the good for the better and the better for the best. Those are tough choices, but that's what you are paid for. Anyone can make the easy choice – something bad for something good – but very few people have the insight and courage to make the tough choice of letting go of good things in order to have better things. – Just a Thought, Lloyd Campbell
Lloyd makes a good point. Are we willing to let go of something 'good' to get something better? The question I am asking myself is "What do I need to be letting go of?" and will I have the courage and insight to know when to let go? Would you?
Q. Need the number of a business coach that "get's it?"

To “have the insight and courage to make the tough choice of letting go of good things in order to have better things” is I believe a gift. That’s why I think men who are good leaders or managers are gifted.
