The Depth of Your Path

If you can learn something new, each time you complete the Evaluation and Feedback project in each path, you will not be surprised by more good news. You quickly find out that learning continues in each project that you complete. Not only that, it continues all the way through your High Performance Leadership (HPL) project.  And the HPL project is in every path – either as a required or elective project.

It is amazing there are so many possibilities in your path. It’s like walking through the woods and suddenly there is no longer a single path, but multiple routes off of this path that you’re tempted to take.  How do you find this out?  You read.  You find this out when you read through the literature on the TI website about this path: there are so many options.  The options make it fascinating and comprehensive. Realize you can take these options one at a time; save the rest for later. It’s like having a big goody bag that you can dive into in the future.

Here is what your High Performance Leadership project description states concerning your option of define your project: “your high performance leadership project is your choice completely.  There are no limits to what you can accomplish!” In other words, your HPL rocket can blast off, make a suborbital path, and land intact at another location. Or, it can take off – and go to Mars!! Of course, the logical thing is to make the suborbital flight first. That can be your first project – save other options for later.

Under manage the scope, the HPL project description states specifically “be sure your plans remain reasonable in scope.” What do you conclude from this? You have great options regarding your choice of the project scope.  For example, take a project – any project – and based on considerations of the project tasks and time frame, determine its content and scope. And “save your original notes…and return to these records when you are working on other projects in this and future paths.” The project description leaves no doubt you will want to return to this or similar path again and expand on your expertise in this project.

The HPL project is an example of the depth available to you in every path in Pathways, because you choose to define the project and you choose to manage the scope.
