Shipulski On Design

When there’s no light, no one can see.

When no one can see, what do you do?

Can you be a source of light?

Do you care enough to do that?

When there’s too much input, focus is difficult.

When there’s a shortfall of focus, what do you do?

Can you dampen things and bring focus?

Do you have the emotional energy for that?

When there’s too much emotional stress, people become scattered.

When scattering comes, what do you do?

Can you pull people together?

Do you take responsibility and do that?

When the old recipe no longer works, people pucker.

When there is puckering, what do you do?

Can you recognize the pucker and plot a new course?

Do you bring the energy for that?

When there is support and guidance, people do great work.

When they did great work, did you play a role?

When they did great work, did you tell them?

Do you have the mojo to do it again?

When there is air cover and protection, people take risks.

When they took a risk, did you create the causes and conditions?

When they took a risk, did you praise them in public?

Do you have what it takes to praise in public?

When there is a teacher and time to learn, everything gets better.

When they learned, were you the teacher?

When they learned, did you create the opportunity for them to demonstrate their learning?

Do you have what it takes to teach and create the causes and conditions for learning to come more easily?
