Fight It, Fund It

I was listening to a leadership session and heard Andy Stanley's phrase here which really stuck with me.

"Fight It or Fund It"

That's the decision many of us will face on a daily basis. It's really quite interesting in scope of when market innovations will be birthed and influence culture - they are always from younger and more innovative people. This starts with the assumption that we need to be humble to allow others, and especially younger people, to have a say in the future. Here's whats true regardless - what those people are doing is going to happen anyways - it always has and always will!

That's where we have the decision to either fight it or fund it. The concept is simple. Where will you land? Will you be one who is fighting for old methods and systems that are out of date or will you challenge even your own comfort and allow fresh method to be launched? Funding someone else's idea may be your greatest legacy... don't miss the opportunity.
