What's one thing you're wishing for right now at work? Is it better communication? Maybe it's the hope you can continue to work from home a few days per week after the pandemic is over. Maybe, you are wishing your company would be more innovative. It could be many things.
I know when I catch myself wishing, especially when it is work related, I'm hoping for something that I feel is missing. I wish my boss gave me more recognition (when I had a boss:) ). I wish we had a more creative culture. I wish I had _______.
There's no problem with wishing - many of my clients come to me with lots of wishes.
Wishing becomes a problem when it turns into stalling and placing hope that someone else will rise up, come to their senses, or create the solution. Without realizing it, you can find yourself stuck in critic mode instead of stepping into your power to create something new, taking action, or sharing your idea.
When you look around for leadership and don’t see it, you are called to do it. ~Susan Hyatt, author & coach
