It’s easy to get distracted. When driving on the road, a car waiting for a traffic light was found not moving after the light turned green. The driver is distracted. A kid who was asked to do one thing is found being busy with something else. We are interrupted by our thoughts and attention without realizing it. “What was I about to do just now?”
In a working environment, distractions may show up like these: constant disagreements and conflicts among team members, blaming each other and defending self, unwilling to speak up, unwilling to work together, unmotivated, uninspired, the list goes on and on…
Distraction happens when we don’t have a shared goal to align to.
Not being clear about the change we commit to make is how distractions get in the way of everything we do.
