A writing organization I belong to
spent the last couple of years
debating whether or not
to recognize the achievements
of ePublished authors.
This created a lot of drama
and bad feelings.
They finally decided ‘yes’
and the membership breathed
a collective sigh of relief,
applying themselves to their true business
of writing.
There was about three months
of peace.
Then the leadership made the decision
to exclude any LGBT writing.
More distracting drama.
It is really tempting
as a leader
to constantly make changes,
tweaks here and there
that may or may not
be necessary.
We feel like we’re doing something.
The issue is…
changes create drama
and drama is distracting.
Distractions kill businesses.
Ask yourself
if your proposed change
is important enough
to distract your employees
from your core business.
Don’t create drama
for no reason.
