TuffStuff

Watching exemplary leaders deal with Tuff Stuff is quite informative. Part of leading is dealing constantly with the inevitable flood of challenging tasks and circumstances.

Here are some of the common things those exemplars do when dealing with dealing with failures, dismissing employees, pushing for improvement, addressing mistakes, and making gut-wrenching decisions...

• They confront and speak the truth...openly, honestly, but kindly.

• They persistently keep the decision-making future focused.

• They understand that tough times also cause growth.

• They own the decisions they make.

I was recently reminded that tough times don't last, but tough people do. 

Hard truth!
