How you respond
What happens.
Is less important.
Than how you respond.
When things break down.
Or blow up.
Do you…
Stay calm.
Move quickly.
Seek input.
Set direction.
Communicate openly.
Connect frequently.
Remain flexible.
Find humor.
Protect people and
Inspire them.
Effective leadership.
Is a set of choices.
In the face of challenges.
Strengthened over time.
So is poor leadership.
Be aware.
Of the muscles you’re building.
