It might be easy to enter. The door is open, the trail looks enticing, the seas are calm, or the new idea is energizing. When things do not proceed as anticipated, things get problematic. Our exit plan is not apparent. The door is locked, the trail has intersections we do not recall, the tide has turned, or the idea deflated our resources.
How might we consider the exit strategy before we launch? How might we leave clues to ourselves as we enter so we can retrace our steps?
Do we mark the way to the exit for those looking to move on, or do we let them stumble around until they find it without acknowledgement? It is easy to place our energy in marking the entrance but if those who entering encounter a tired and exhausted group of individuals looking for the depart, then neither group is being served. Even the airlines post a member of the flight crew at the plane door to wish us a good onward journey. What if our exit was as remarkable as our first impressions of the cause?
