(Published in my Tumblr acct summer 2013)
Between big meetings last week, grant applications, meetings today and a few other things I’ve been away a bit. Sorry about that. I’ve got like 12 drafts in my dashboard and I’ll keep adding to them until I get ready to publish. I’d like to say it’s all my “editors” fault, but I seriously doubt that!
Today I was made aware of one obvious leadership flaw in myself. I expect people to listen, especially in the adult learning environment. More yet in the small business world, where one small mistake can make or break the bottom line. When I see that and am at my wits end with so many things happening I need to get away and take a break. My flaw is that I expect too much and need to have the emotional discipline to step away and know when to use that emotional collateral.
Lesson learned…now on the next one. That’s the joy of being a life-long learner.
