Great teams are great…until they’re not. We’ve all been a part of high performing organizations who suddenly experience a devastating event that cost the organization time, equipment, money or worse; lives.

Great teams are great…until they’re not. We’ve all been a part of high performing organizations who suddenly experience a devastating event that cost the organization time, equipment, money or worse; lives. We rely heavily on our experience and our abilities when what we need to keep us from making that “huge error” are sound, repeatable processes which help us capitalize on our experience and skills as operators and leaders.
One of the most important principles Brian Learned as a young, up and coming leader was, “flexibility is the key to success.” An important corollary is, “never fall in love with your plan.” While planning is essential, there are many things that can come up and unless we take the time to consider what can go wrong, we won’t be adequately prepared to deal with it.
Everyone wants to be a part of a championship team and as a leader, you have the opportunity to build that championship team. Through process, leadership and recognizing the capabilities and limitations of your people, you can make an impact, not just on today’s operations, but the future of your people.
