A metaphor for an organisation is a wheel.
It’s well rounded.
The spokes are strong and well placed.
It is all connected by a solid central hub.
Leadership is about finding out what part of the wheel you are…
Are you a strong spoke, very good at an important function in the organisation.
Are you the central hub, holding things together in their rightful place?
Or are you like me, the space between the spokes, putting the right people (spokes) in the right place and giving them space to be their best?
The wheel doesn’t work without all of this.
Every part matters.
Find your place.
If you keep saying ‘the bad guy won’ and judging everyone who supports them as an idiot, then you are playing right into the ‘good vs evil’ fallacy.
At the South Island Show Jumping Champs late last year, my daughters won the classes they were entered in.
A while ago we were at a horse show. Zara and I walked the course, and I read the jump off and told Zara what it was.
