Leaders can complain forever about all of that negative “stuff” that is out there in her organization or community – “stuff” that she believes as beyond her control or as belonging to someone else.

Until she sees her “role” in the dilemma, the problems continue or get worse. An intentional leader will ask “What role might I play in the issue?” and “What action can I take to improve the situation?”. These questions help the leader to focus on what they can control – themselves – and take meaningful action to resolve the issue.

So, stop complaining and start asking “What is my role in this?”, and then take some action!
