I’m grateful for the ability to rebound.
Yesterday, someone asked me about a bad decision I’ve made as a leader, or a time when things didn’t go the way I expected. I shared an early experience at the bank where I tried to bring in data analytics, but I didn’t align the proper support. I didn’t cultivate the right leaders or set the right expectations. I didn’t move quickly enough in the decision-making process, and honestly, I slow-dragged it.
Some of that was due to COVID, but the lesson was mine to learn.
That moment taught me something I carry to this day:
Never shrink your vision. Move with precision.
Make the tough calls, even when they’re uncomfortable in the short term, if they’ll set you up for long-term success.
I’m thankful for the grace to learn and the strength to bounce back better.
