You can be certain that uncertainty is certain. Perhaps a play on words, but the reality is that many leaders make the mistake of expecting certainty when life is everything but certain. Good leaders understand that life is not linear, that despite our best efforts we will encounter unexpected obstacles and challenges. The problem is not the obstacle or challenge, but rather how we react when they occur.
Good leaders work to ensure they limit uncertainty but are prepared to respond when the unexpected occurs. Rather than panic, make excuses, or look for someone to blame, good leaders react. They take the necessary steps to rally the team to come up with a solution for overcoming the unexpected. They trust their teams and their teams trust them. That trust enables them to work collaboratively to find a way to overcome the challenge/obstacle and achieve the desired goal. Just a little advice to go!
