A few years ago I had the privilege of listening to David Gergen (don’t recognize the name…google him) speak at a Leadership Summit in the Chicago area.
I took a lot of great nuggets away from his talk…others of which I’ll probably share in the future, but one that really stuck out was as follows:
“Motion is not progress…”
There is a quote by Alfred Montapert that really illustrates the power of this statement.
“Do not confuse motion and progress. A rocking horse keeps moving but does not make any progress.”
Over the last couple of months the most common reply to the phrase, “How are things going?”, is the word…
“Busy!”
This holds true with my coworkers, and among family and friends.
Everyone is soooooo…”Busy!!!”
Being that we’re all so “Busy!”, I ask…
“Are you “Busy!” making definite and meaningful progress?”
Because I’ve got a hunch that meaningless motion is a serious waste of everyone’s precious time these days.
