Big Seat
If you are a leader expect to be challenged.
Expect to be:
Misunderstood
Criticized
Judged
Labeled
Called not a Leader
Called a Know-it-All
Called Doesn't Know Anything
Expect one of the above or ALL of the above. Being challenged by people who don't know you is one thing, but it's another when it is the people that you work with and lead. Judgment comes with the territory, but like Pat Summit once said, "don't sign up for the Big Boy seat if you can't handle it. If you want to keep everyone happy don't be the leader, sell ice cream. You have to understand this or it will physically, mentally, and spiritually kill you.
Always RPN'
Never Flinch!
