"ON FIRE" Chapter 5: CAN YOU SAY YES?

Chapter 5: CAN YOU SAY YES? 

Our purpose is to collectively define the ideals behind being "People Centric." We aim to share best practices and learn from each other as to how best we, as leaders, can become a catalyst in the lives of the people we serve. 
 
Read Chapter 5, think through your answers, then discuss them with your leadership team. We ask you to share a summary of your thoughts and insights.  Our goal is to create a learning environment where we can all benefit from each other’s perspectives.

Post your comments to the questions below:

1. John shares his feelings that Nurse Roy went from being the best to being the worst over a couple of days (pages 131-133).
 a. Have you ever felt like a situation went from being the best to the worst and what was the cause?
 b. How can we change our mindset to get comfortable being uncomfortable?   

2. John shares the story about his first speaking engagement with a local Girl Scout Troop (pages 146-151). 
 a. When was a time that you felt so nervous that you threw up or thought you were going to throw up? 
 b. Have you ever looked back at a time in your your life when being uncomfortable led to something amazing? 

Stagnation V. Growth
At the end of Chapter 5, we are asked the following question: "What's really possible through your life?" 

We would like to hear your responses to that discussion topic and see how other people are feeling. This will help us see the gaps in what is missing from being "People Centric."
