“Anyone can hold the helm when the sea is calm.” – Publilius Syrus
It’s easy to show good leadership, or make smart decisions, when the issues are small and the conditions are right. The stakes are low and most choices are safe.
But it takes a certain kind of person to step up when the problem is thorny, the process gets hard, and everything around you is pushing you towards failure.
It’s the storms that show what you’re truly capable of.
With luck and grit, they won’t last forever. Embrace their gift, even if for only a moment.
