A short YouTube monologue by Will Humphreys (uploaded May 28, 2025) that uses the speaker's delayed-flight anecdote to argue that true leadership shows up in hard times by being adaptable, serving others, and choosing kindness. Humphreys contrasts leadership in crisis (serve, love, lead) with leadership during success (celebrating what already worked), emphasizing that leaders should respond with empathy when people are struggling.

Chapters

You know, owning a business is a lot like this delayed flight that I have. I was supposed to be in New York six hours ago, and I've seen people chew out people at the counter, swear at people at restaurants nearby, because clearly they're struggling. And I'm not saying those people are bad. I'm saying they're normal. But what a leader does is they look at their environment and tries to determine, what can I do with what I have. Two things can be true at the same time. The situation can totally stink. And I can still serve. I can still lead. I can still love. It's in moments like these where leadership matters most. Because when everyone's watching and things are going well, that's not leadership. That's celebrating what's already worked. It's times like these where we need leaders just to be kind.
