Rising to the Challenge

Dear Uncommon Leaders, 

Be inspired this week to rise to the challenge! Go be uncommon!

Your Sunday Nugget

This Week's Question:

Does your leadership rise to the occasion when things go south?

This Week's Challenge: 

Most anyone can lead when things are going smoothly, but it is when problems, chaos and turbulence arise that great leadership is needed most.

Some leaders rise up during challenges and some don’t. Which type of leader do you want to be? One who retreats and self-destructs in the heat of the battle or one who rises up and calmly and confidently steers the ship through the storm?

This week your challenge is to take note of how you respond when things get off track and make adjustments if needed. Have an Uncommon week!

This Week's Quote to Ponder:

“Anyone can lead when the plan is working. The best lead when the plan falls apart.” -Robin Sharma

Until next week,

LET'S GO BE UNCOMMON!
