MAP—your silver bullet
by Miki SaxonI’ve got a secret to share. Most managers spend time, energy and money (their company’s and their own) in an effort to grow from manager to leader. They study examples and best practices, read books, attend seminars and classes, take advanced degrees, check out software, turn to the spiritual (if so inclined)—you name it and it’s been tried.
The dream is to find a silver bullet; the reality is various levels of incremental improvement; the payoff is enormous—both tangibly and intangibly.
Now for the secret. You already possess the closest thing to a silver bullet that exists and it’s right in your mind.
That’s right, it’s your MAP and, like a snowflake, it’s totally unique—yours, and yours alone. And the magic that turns the bullet from lead to silver is your ability to consciously choose to change your MAP through your own awareness.
How cool is that? The very thing that frees you to soar and it’s not only yours, but also within your control. Who can ask for anything more?
Never forget! You are the silver bullet!
