Are you on the right seat on the bus?

By

One of my favorite books is Good to Great by Jim Collins.

He has a quote that I use all of the time. “Are you on the right seat of the bus?”

I have been thinking about that statement quite a bit lately. What if
you were hired and you were on the right seat of the bus and all of a
sudden the bus driver changed?

The new bus driver may take a different route. The bus driver may not drive as fast or may drive too fast. The bus driver may fall asleep. So you decide you want off the bus because you don’t want to change bus drivers.

Now, I’m wondering if it is about the right seat on the bus or about the
bus driver.

What happens when the bus driver changes?

    Thanks Sprad! I started thinking about when I moved into a new leadership role. I remember I wanted to get MY people in the places I preferred. Which got me thinking about the bus driver analogy.
