Leading growth, in both relationships and organizations, requires accepting whether something (a resource, a person, a window of opportunity, a client, a passion, a vision, an employee, a moment) is lost or missing. If it’s missing, finding it usually starts with deciding 1 of 3 things:
Is it misplaced, out of order or broken?
If it’s missing, focus quickly, decisively and wholeheartedly on putting it back into place, back into proper order, or restoring the broken part. If it’s lost, barring a miracle to save or bring it back, you might want to consider moving on.
