YOU WILL FACE LEADERSHIP INERTIA

YOU WILL FACE LEADERSHIP INERTIA

In school, we learned about an interesting concept called inertia. It will resist your initiative to move. When you do move it will resist your efforts to stop.  You just can't win, or can you? Leaders experience this natural force when dealing with situations and when leading people. Whenever you don't seem to be winning think about how you normally overcome inertia.

Inertia bothers you at the start, but so long as you keep moving, it stops bothering you and actually helps you keep going. When you need to stop, it fights you. However, so long as it is the right thing to do and you are determined to stop, you stop. Beating this thing called inertia is an indicator of your maturity and passion. It tells you how important the thing is to you.

Some people think inertia works against you. I like to think of it as a matter of perspective. Fighting it is not an option. You can't win. The question is will you or won't you make it work for you.
