When everything goes perfect, it is easy to lead. However, the true test of character is when things don't go exactly as planned. Take today for example. . .
We woke up to rain. We can't control weather but rain does make parking and walking more difficult. Add to that a delay in getting rooms opened up and a miscommunication on a meeting place. Changes to a schedule. But these are the times when one must ADAPT, IMPROVISE and OVERCOME because rarely in life does everything work out as planned. So, we rally the troops, redo the plans and move forward! And in the end, everything works out.
That is a common theme that we heard throughout the seminar. . .success will not attack you, it won't come find you. Leadership isn't easy, it takes work. You need to plan, but even the best laid plans will need to ebb and flow. But listening to Reflections last night and seeing the Ambassadors and parents today, we are confident that we have an OUTSTANDING group of leaders, each who will find their individual path, opportunity and passion and lead. Regardless of what life throws at them!
