When I was in high school, I read Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre. Existentialism was fascinating to me. Although it struck me as painfully negative, there were parts that resonated.
To this day, I recall a discussion about people being “doomed to make choices.” An interpretation of Sartre’s “L’homme est condamné à être libre.”
People: Cheery Friday to you, Joy. What does this have to do with leadership?
Joy: Leaders have to make choices.
👉🏾 Some will go well — 🟢
👉🏾 Some will not be good, nor too bad — 🟡
👉🏾 Some will crash and burn — 🔴
Welcome to leadership.
There are no guarantees.
That’s why it’s crucial that leaders strive to make the best choices.
🗝️ When it goes well — learn.
🗝️ When it’s not good, nor too bad — learn.
🗝️ When it’s super 🤬 — learn.
Leaders — Choose wisely. With each choice, ensure you are choosing to learn.
