Session 6.1: Dr. Henry Cloud | #1

10/19/2020

 

Prune what's good.

Just because something is going well today, profitable even, doesn’t mean it’s what’s best for tomorrow, says Dr. Cloud. He uses the example of Steve Jobs reducing Apple’s computer offerings from 43 different versions down to the four models available today. Steve shut down what wasn’t best for his vision for tomorrow.
  • ​How do we have courageous conversations around positive disruption - even when things are good? 
  • Is good the enemy of great? How often do we find ourselves content with the status quo because it's going "good".

This one was huge to me. We all are familiar with removing the things that are not working. It's not as easy to look at the things that are going good and cutting them as well. I feel like this should be part of your assessment on new projects though. It may work, but maybe it could be better. Sometimes you have to step back and look at the big picture as well. In the Apple example, they had many "good" products, but nothing "great". So they chose to put their focus on make fewer, but GREAT products.

I found this one to be interesting. When he was talking about the different companies shedding or pruning back their offerings to allow their core offerings to flourish. It made a lot of sense to me to lean out and direct my focus back to my core strengths. Sometimes we spread ourselves to thin and important things in our lives suffer. By pruning, we can focus on the people and initiatives in our lives that will help us move forward.
