There is so much conflicting or contradictory advice on this subject. Lee brainstorms to get to the bottom of this primary dilemma.  

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS
If you consider marketing, people recommend that you start small and target your messaging to a niche target, but you need to start big with your target vision.
When starting with the end goal in mind the start may seem big, but can be broken down into smaller challenges, but most problems seem huge at the beginning.
If you're leading change, think about the tiny actions you and the people you are helping need to take to get to their goal. 
If you do go small quickly it is easier to learn from the actions you have taken because you are experimenting as you go. It is more difficult to unpick a complex, large, detailed task.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Is it best to be a mile wide and an inch deep or is it best to be an inch wide and a mile deep?’

‘I think there is something about starting big and starting small because you need to start big on where you're trying to get to, what it is that you’re trying to overcome.’

‘When we think about leaders and leadership, we train people on the fundamentals of the process of being a leader, the back to work interviews, the personal development plans, setting appraisals, but what about the small actions that are required for being a leader?’

‘If you wanted to start flossing your teeth you should make sure that the floss is next to your toothbrush because then you’re stacking it on top of a pre existing habit.’
