LEADERSHIP POLE VAULT

LEADERSHIP POLE VAULT

Leaders have to make huge leaps of faith. To do this they need a good anchor and strong strategy. The run up must be timed precisely to ensure that you do not miss the anchor and fail to get maximum lift from your strategy. A strategy that breaks in the air can have disastrous results. You may wish to pilot your approach a few times just to make sure you have the right distance. Don't leave your take off to guesswork. Once in the air all you can do is hold on to your strategy to get maximum lift and pray. Clearing the challenge is its own reward and coming down to earth to face reality again prepares you to meet the next challenge. It is usually tougher, but the good thing is that you now have the confidence of a successful experience to spur you on. Leaders become champions one challenge at a time.
