I was spending time with my son and his new found love of play dough when he said something very intriguing. I was supposed to roll his play dough into a ball which, although constitutes a 3 dimensional entity, is still being called a circle. Apparently, what he received was not "circle enough" and so he held it in his hands and said "no circle...oval". He then proceeded to press down on what he now had in his hands (the oval that I had created) to make a circle out of it.
That made me think. How many times do we get an opportunity where we push what we have down to make something else instead of stretching it? Do we, as leaders, utilize our strength to force an "oval" into being a "circle"?
If we were to take a point
The question is this: are you a "push downer" or a "pull upper"?
