A quick way to get frustrated? Try to ignite wet wood when you go camping. It’s a waste of time and energy. Might as well try to find some dry wood or wait for that wood to dry. If you saw someone trying to light wet wood, you’d tell them to stop. You’d also say to make sure to keep their wood dry for next time.
In life, think of that wood as creativity and when it is burning, innovation.
It is our job as leaders to make sure that wood is dry.
Sometimes, as a leader, we can forget that. Even still, at times, we can drench our wood with water, then try to light it.
The best leaders don’t just look for dry wood and hope they are lucky. They look for ways to protect that wood and make sure that even in a downpour, it can light up.
