I recently read Stretch by Scott Sonenshein on the value of stretching our resources instead of chasing after more.
Scott was particularly interested in “why some people and organizations succeed with so little, while others fail with so much.”
“When chasing, we exhaust ourselves in the pursuit of more.”
“When stretching, we embrace the resources we already have. This frees us to find creative and productive ways to solve problems, innovate, and engage our work and lives more fully.”
"Stretch shows why everyone—from executives to entrepreneurs, professionals to parents, athletes to artists—performs better with constraints; why seeking too many resources undermines our work and well-being; and why even those with a lot benefit from making the most out of a little.”
Read on to hear how I'm stretching my resources in life and business.
