3 lessons in the meetings of the Forest

Here are three lessons about the meetings that came from a walk through the forest.
1) giant SEQUOIAS

This magnificent tree is a living example that some things take time.

Certainly, we need to work with a sense of urgency. We must do more with less. We need to go faster than the speed of chaos.

We must also be suitable.

Some issues may rush through the provision of false solutions.

For example, a group critical of the annual plan together, to see that the plan does not reflect actual market conditions, and organizational boundaries, and individual support. The result is that no one uses the document.

For example, a strong decision without listening to the ideas of others. The bad situation becomes worse. In fact, sometimes avenged neglected side with such force that the team loses its original position.

Best: Take time to make sure that all considerations are included in the plans and decisions. If you are planning to hold a meeting in order to solve some major problems, hiring a skilled facilitator to help you get a result to continue.

2) Bear

This Cub behaves like a small child in the mama bear when I went about collecting his clumsy of groceries in the supermarket. Bear went on the trunks of trees, fallen rocks, and things fell on my mother. And plays all the time, and kept the mummy bear work, nibbling plants, and collect food.

The reserves that is, eat until I ran the cub. Mama bear Then he looked up, grunted, and ran after the young lion. (I guess that's what I did, because I ran away when the mother bear growled.)

What is the point?

Sometimes we need to allow an appropriate amount of turbulence, because it is part of growth. That's part to allow people to explore. It is part of enabling people to be themselves. Of course, when threats appear, then we must support. We need to complain to restore order.

3) Mustang Clover

In the spring, covering the mountains of the Sierra Nevada with patches of clover Persians. These flowers are small (less than half an inch in diameter) appear to be simple points, and a small pink as you pass by. But if you pause and look carefully you will discover a masterpiece of intricate beauty.

This point: Do you stop to notice important details? Some may be just a gentle reminder of how life can be wonderful. Others may be key indicators of the health of your business.
