An idea I’ve found myself referencing a lot of late as we navigate change is “short term messy, long term good.”
My belief is that we can all handle a bit of messy as long as our expectations are set right. And navigating that mess as a team – with emergent direction and eyes wide open – typically results in good outcomes in the long run.
It is always challenging navigating the messy part.
But, on the flip side, these experiences often tend to be learning-rich and transformational.
No pain, no gain.
