Are we helping to visualize the Big Picture?
A simple story for illustration, I am sure many of you would have heard this. The story is not new but I think it has great relevance to us today:
A traveler is just at the outskirts of a village and sees several stone workers chipping away at stone. He asks one worker what he was doing. The worker replies that he is just chipping away stone as he has been told by his supervisor. Then the traveler asks the next worker the same question. The second one says that he is earning a living by chipping at stones. Then the third worker says that he is chipping stones to contribute to the grand vision of building a marvelous temple !!
Same activity but the Picture becomes Bigger and Better !!
It is so very important for us to help our people to connect to and visualize the bigger picture. If we do so, I am sure it would help us contribute a far higher value to our work as leaders.
