How a leader handles things not going to plan is mostly
set before anything goes wrong.
It’s the mindset they walked in with.
“𝘐 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵” is one mindset.
When it goes off-plan, that’s a tough blow to recover from.
Here’s a different mindset.
“𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭 𝘪𝘵.”
So when it doesn’t go the way I thought, I already knew that was possible.
I take the feedback and figure out the next move.
