The Habit of BusYness

There is so much to do each day. And our change project has that deadline looming. The circus has called to recruit us for our juggling skills. Just because we are good at being busy, should we always be busy? Being able to produce, combined with the ability to anticipate what lies around the next corner makes change project management an art. Be careful not to become addicted to being busy. Take time within the context of the change initiative to quietly observe. Good advice for day to day living but also pertinent to change project management. It is your responsibility to navigate the unknown. If you're too busy, who will lead the team? Since so much of the role of change leader involves intangibles, getting the 'work' done and successfully implementing change are not always synonymous.
