Greetings loyal leaders! Capt. Fletch here helping you launch 2024 with another edition of the Leadership Toolbox. Last time in our feature for NGWA Groundwater Week, we examined the importance of using your time efficiently in professional interactions. This month, I explore another common word, and one we often avoid: failure.
As I looked through previous articles, I noticed I tend to write about seemingly deflating topics. For example, in December 2021, I wrote about another common word: adversity. However, I like to think by taking on less cheerful topics this time of year I offer a hopeful approach for leaders to persevere through them.
