Hey #Leaders-
Ever felt like youโre in a sinking ship and forgot how to swim?
Haven't we all?!?
This week on ๐๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ, I discussed why having a bit of faith can be your hidden life jacket.
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐: Even when your projectโs doing a Titanic, it's your job to be the calm captain. Remember, Martin Luther King Jr said something super smart about taking steps even when you canโt see the whole staircase. (It's our quote of the week).
๐ช๐ต๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐: From CEOs to local the heroes, we all hit rough waters. This talk isnโt just spiritual; it's about leading with guts when the going gets tough and when people are looking to you to be '๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ช๐ณ ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฏ.'
We go deep on the following ๐ฐ-๐ฆ๐๐ฒ๐ฝ ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐น๐ฎ๐ป:
1๏ธโฃ ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ป: Sit with the mess for a sec. Itโs okay to not be okay.
2๏ธโฃ ๐ง๐ถ๐ป๐ ๐ ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐: Do one small thing now to steer the ship. Think of it as your leadership cheat code.
3๏ธโฃ ๐ฃ๐น๐ฎ๐ป ๐: Have a backup plan. Itโs like knowing where the lifeboats are.
4๏ธโฃ ๐ฆ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ถ๐น๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐: Find that one thing that ๐ถ๐ going right. Yes, thereโs always one.
We wrapped up with a gem from Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks,
โ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ถ๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐๐. ๐๐'๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐น๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐๐.โ
Basically, itโs okay not to have all the answers.
So, dear founders and C-suite legends, next time your worldโs looking a bit dark, flick on the faith light. It might just be the spark you need.
