I find it interesting that we as a society still value, very highly, command and control in organizations in the form of the heroic individual leader.

With all that is going on in our world these days, it occurs to me that we are generally not as good at finding, “what’s good about something as finding what’s wrong with something?”. It feels more difficult and sometimes it is more difficult to find what’s good. What if we could train ourselves to find what’s good in more things and in others, more often?

In fact as part of the self learning cycle that you can manage for yourself, reflecting on past performance is a great way to pinpoint, for yourself, changes that are possible and improvements that can be made.
