A coach reflects on when to lead and when to follow after arriving in Germany. She describes stepping back in London to let experienced colleagues take charge, then stepping forward in other moments, and encourages you to assess each day and decide which role takes courage.
Guten Tag, everyone. This is your moment of yes for Friday, September 16th. Just got to Germany this evening, which is probably afternoon for you all. So yeah, been three flights, been on the road since since yesterday. So about 18 hours, 18-20 hours of since since start to get in here and adjusting. I just went out to dinner with the coaches and now just kind of you know when do I go to bed and and all that jazz. But But your moment of yes for today is when do you lead and when do you follow? When is it being called upon you to lead and when is it being called upon you to follow? So I was appreciating being able to get up to Chicago yesterday and then jumping on a plane with like, you know, 3 or 4 of the other coaches. And, you know, 2 of them are British. And so when we land in London, I'm like, oh, all I have to do is just follow. They know exactly what they're doing, right? We fly into Germany, they know exactly what they're doing. Other times there's a demand and an opportunity to lead and be like, okay, how can I lead and how can I be more helpful as a leader? But also recognizing and understanding when is it more helpful just to be a follower and let others sort of magnify their strengths and, and allow yourself to step back. And follow and be a good teammate and a good supporter in the process. So as you roll into the weekend, right, you can ask yourself from activity to activity or day to day, do I need to be a leader? Do I need to step up and lead? Or do I need to step back and follow? They often demand the same courage. Which one is needed from you today? Have a great weekend, everybody. Bye.
