We all have special concerns, insights and sensitivities that we carry with us seven days a week, 24 hours a day. These concerns, insights and sensitivities are very important. However, we all must be very careful not to let them harden into an overriding personal agenda that prevents us from having the flexibility to learn and grow, receive new information, examine new ways of thinking — or most importantly — get our work done and meet our commitments.
