Growth in individuals or organizations often requires a “burn the boats” approach.   Old habits, processes and the safety net of the status quo must go away to move forward.  As leaders, our role is to strike the match. We must provide the psychological safety necessary for the team to take risks, while simultaneously ensuring that the bridge back to the old ways no longer exists. We move forward together because forward is the only direction we allow.
