What is it that you are willing to commit to?

Writing about Peter Block yesterday makes me think about his book, The Answer to How is Yes. I’ve been using this title as a guiding agreement for strategic planning that I facilitate with clients.

Block argues, and I agree, that “How?” isn’t the most important question. “How?” is a distraction from the important question “What resistance am I postponing?” or, in other words, “What am I really willing to commit to and act upon?”
