Putting Out Fires

I posted an article on my EADDblog about urgency and putting out fires. I based it off of a blog post from Seth Godin on the subject. It’s really an excellent piece and worth the read. Here’s a piece:

You can have grand visions for remodeling your house or getting in shape, but if
there’s a fire in the kitchen, you drop everything and put it out. What choice
do you have? The problem, of course, is that most organizations are on fire,
most of the time.
