In a leadership position we don’t always have the answers but it is a leadership responsibility to imagine, create, resource, acknowledge and look after the answers! Having said that, there are days when it all seems too much. Everyone has an overload point! The solution is to recognize your own overload point! When you accept leadership you accept a wide range of circumstances. There will be moments when that range of circumstances seem too much and you will need a safeguard. That safeguard is self-awareness and the ability to find an answer in the moment and then find the best answers and solutions. A self-awareness safeguard on the overload days goes a long way when you are also consistently showing your readiness to forge ahead and find answers and solutions. An overload day is a chance to model your best self!
