From the Ask Tom mailbag:

Question:
I was in your workshop, about Time Span. Almost overwhelming. I say, almost, because it is grabby stuff. I don’t know if I will see my company the same way, when I go back to work tomorrow. But where do I start?

Response:
The starting place is with yourself, the only person in the world where you have control and authority.

Time Span is grabby, because it resonates with what you feel, as a leader. Time Span is the scientific explanation for what you intuitive observe in the workplace, as a manager. Anthony De Mello calls it Awareness. And this is where you start.

Before you can take action, any form of implementation, take an inventory of where you are. What is your role? Inside your organization, what are your accountabilities?

Before you can effectively evaluate the roles of those around you, you must first discover who you are.
