Stuck is mostly a choice
There are different sorts of stuck. Sometimes, things happen - our car breaks down or the weather closes in at the airport, - something outside our control. In observing many people and businesses though, mostly we get stuck in process. We get trapped in the way we think we should do things. In these cases, getting stuck is a choice.
I was reminded of the elevator ads when I read Seth Godin's latest book - What to do when it's your turn". The ad is worth taking time to watch (and the book to read). It's funny, and vaguely uncomfortable. Is your career like an elevator, and if it's stuck, what will it take you to get off?
