Overcoming Despair in Times of Change - Leadership Lessons for Success #leadership #significance

How many of you at one time your freshman year in that first semester felt like you wanted to go home and just stay? I didn't. Right? That's the despair. That's how it feels for people. Oftentimes in this mode, when we're in this valley, I ask clients, They say, oh, people are hating the change. This isn't working well. And I said, is a key resource going to leave the company? Are they going to behaviorally commit to being in despair? They're like, well, no. I was like, then just take a deep breath. We're still in the game. And I'll share this with you guys. I've literally said that twice. In the Daniel School as being a chief of staff. We're like, we're going to do this change. It's like, people aren't liking this thing. It's like, is a key person going to leave? Like, well, no. It's like, OK, we're still in the game. We're still in the game. Right? Because change is unpleasant for people. Right? They don't like it. So that is— that feeling of despair is in here. I want you to take that curve and circle that part. Because you're Larson leaders, that's when leadership kicks in the most. As a good leader, you got to be— when people are at this part in here, this is when leadership matters the most.
