#SUNDAYSTORIES | STAY READY
I'm on the road visiting my family in my hometown of Ann Arbor, Michigan, this week so today's edition doesn't feature biking.
My 17yr old niece (#22 below) and I surprised each other today w my visit.... I didn't know she didn't know I was coming, and it was a full-on love fest when we discovered each other. 🥰🥰
Tonight, I asked her to send me her favorite picture of her and she sent me this ... a shot of her and her bestie and teammate -Delaney- at one of their field hockey games.
I immediately knew it was for this post bc they are a great example of Business Leadership Athletes in the making...
It's never too early (or the wrong time) to start developing ourselves and others as Business Leadership Athletes. In fact, I argue it's best to start young and build upon a solid foundation. As the saying goes:
"STAY READY SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET READY"
While these two are literally athletes - YOU don't have to literally be one to fit the bill #LEADERS.
What you do need to develop and practice are related qualities that often are present in Business Leadership Athletes:
Adaptability
Coachability
Resilience
Determination
Team orientation
No matter where you or your people are in career stage - remember it's never too early or the wrong time to start and practice cultivating these qualities.
