Leading Through Dialogue: 6 - Looking for Possibilities
We just finished the long process of buying a distressed house in a gorgeous location. In just the first 2 weeks of starting repairs I've learned many leadership lessons I want to share with you. The biggest one is the importance of not losing the vision or keep looking for possibilities.
The 25 years old house, abandoned for more than a year, seemed to have little to offer beyond it’s sturdy construction and the great 1 1/3 acre wooded lot that overlooks a stream. Besides cosmetic needs, it no longer even had AC or /Heat! Nevertheless, we could see amazing possibilities once we gave it some TLC. We could envision lazy mornings on the ample deck watching the birds in the back woods, or opening the French Doors of the master suite to the night sounds and starlight.
