Where the Grass is Most Green

You have heard it said a hundred times that the ‘Grass is greener on the other side.’ This is typically said in the case of someone’s perception of opportunity. When people become disgruntled it makes any opportunity appear much greener than where they currently are.

I would like to challenge this phrase for 2009. The truth is, the grass is truly more green where you water.

• Do you want a new job? Have you first fully watered your current position?
• Is your family or marriage a bit dull? Have you nurtured it effectively?
• Do you want a better position in your company? Have you given all you can?

The ‘grass is the most green where you water it.’ So crank up the sprinklers. Pour on the water. Open the flood gates and invest in where you are at for this season.

Doing this will give you the right perspective needed to be a great leader.
