The Responsibility of Power

Over the weekend, a close friend of mine had to make a difficult decision to put her old dog down. It's a responsibility that many pet owners are entrusted with, and while it's never easy, it's often necessary.

When it comes to end-of-life decisions for humans, the conversation becomes more complicated. It's a topic that society desperately needs to address but often avoids due to its complexity.

However, as a society, we've accomplished incredible feats like putting a man on the moon and creating self-driving cars. If we have the courage to tackle those challenges, we can also find a way to address the difficult questions around end-of-life decisions

This avoidance of difficult questions is not limited to societal issues. It's also prevalent in the business world. Too often, businesses dance around the edges of their problems and avoid addressing the root cause.

To create meaningful change, businesses must be willing to ask themselves the tough questions and address the hardest problems. This requires being fiercely determined to fix the problem, even if it means bruising a few egos along the way.

As a business owner, you have been entrusted with the responsibility to make tough decisions and address difficult problems. Do you have the courage and integrity to fulfill that responsibility?

Sometimes, the right thing to do is painfully obvious, but it's easy to falter, delay, or hope for a miracle to avoid the tough decision. However, in my experience, few problems or situations resolve themselves like a computer sometimes can.

Let's face our responsibilities head-on and strive to create positive change in our businesses and society.
