Everything, Something, or Nothing

I just finished reading a book called Everyone Communicates, Few Connect by John C. Maxwell. As the title suggests, the focus of the book was on communicating in a way that connects with others. The book included a number of useful suggestions for improving the way you with individuals, groups, and audiences, but one idea really grabbed my attention:

"If you wait until you can do everything for everybody, instead of something for somebody, you'll end up not doing anything for anybody."

It's a simple idea, but an important one, and it seems particularly relevant to me in light of the organizational transformation that my company is currently undergoing. When stakes are high -- and stakes are always high when connecting with others is concerned -- the important thing is to get something done each and every day.
