If culture's drifting, you're in trouble because culture shapes everything.

So you gotta get in there immediately and fix it.

Culture is a reflection of what you allow, what you expect, and fix it.

If a key leader is struggling,

that's on you to fix.

If there's a big decision that's going to shape your future, it's kind of mission critical, you better be involved in that all day long.

Do not sit back and trust other people to make one of the top two or three decisions of the year.

You want to be in the room.

You may...

trust and empower them, but you're in the room discussing with them.

And then sometimes there's things that just won't move without you.

You gotta get involved and say, yeah, I'm needed to break through this barrier to get things moving.

So what are you doing?

You're managing altitude and attention.

And what you're going to do is you're going to lead intentionally.

You're going to rise when you can and dive when you must.

Rise as often as possible and then get involved when you have to.

Let's talk about the second challenging lesson that I learned.

And this was difficult because I didn't see it coming until it was a little bit late and I had to make major adjustments.

I used to think that the best leaders always had the best plans.
