Good and Better
Audio / Produced by The High CallingTranscript
Frank had a knack for updating dusty old systems. But when he changed departments, his new co-workers warned him about this leader’s unspoken motto: “We do it the way we’ve always done it.”
So what did Frank do? He did it right. He said, “Boss, I’ll go after your priorities your way. But if a time comes up to discuss options, I have ideas; and I’m ready when you are.” To the staff’s surprise, the boss smiled. “Do things my way and get it right,” she said. “And then we’ll talk.”
This is Howard Butt, Jr., of Laity Lodge. Behind “the way it’s always been done” are relationships as well as methods. Respect for existing relationships can also open new doors in the high calling of our daily work.
