Leadership Insights from Justin Bieber

cc 5 
I was listening to “As Long As You Love Me” by Justin Bieber feat. Big Sean (don’t ask!)  Anyway, Big Sean says “The grass ain’t always greener on the other side, it’s green where you water it.  
 
As leaders, change agents, and provocative thinkers, we often suffer from neomania.  Neomania is the obsession of the new or modern for its own sake; “the next big thing”.   As humans, we’re easily bored and often confuse and use “new” and “improved” synonymously.   But we may be missing something.  Something that’s right in front of our face or under our feet. Something wonderful, that we’re taking for granted.

Here’s Your Challenge…  
 
Instead of assuming you need something new, different, or more – whether it’s an employee, partner, career, etc., consider watering what you already have.
 
Where might a small investment in your time and attention pay off for you?  Are you SURE you need something new?  What do you already have that you could more deeply appreciate?
 
 Carry water with you and your grass will always be green!
