How we unintentionally create resistance

We're starting a new series this week called the VERSUS Series where we we contrast something we were taught to do versus something that actually works. This week, we're dealing with the way that most of us were trained to deal with challenges. When we meet a challenge , we were taught to do everything we can to overcome the challenge -- and work ourselves and our staffs to death in the process. But, what if working harder wasn't the answer? In fact, what if what we are doing to overcome the challenge is actually creating MORE resistance? In today's episode, discover why pouring more fuel on a challenge can actually create MORE resistance and why you should be focused on removing friction instead. By the time you're done, you'll be solving challenges more effectively (and without killing yourself and your staff in the process) #LikeABuilder.
