Avoidance
Avoidance and patience can, outwardly, appear very similar.
The same could be said for a cup of French press and instant coffee.
The two could not be more different.
Patience involves an active management of expectations, observations around growth, and implicit beliefs.
Avoidance involves a general disregard of constructive action or thoughtfulness.
When it comes to leadership, patience is not idly watching grass grow; it is an active, cognitively demanding process.
The more important distinction lies in the timelines for either process.
Avoidance can feel effective in creating short-term space.
Avoidance is not a long term strategy.
