A mere 212 calendar days until graduation!
Talk about changes! Getting into business is a roller coaster of events and emotions that sour and sweeten unexpectedly. Having the werewithal to withstand these changes is key to success. The sugary icing is an entrepreneur's ability to dive deep and discover things about herself she had never fathomed. The rotten apple is ridding herself of the emotions surrounding poor decisions while still considering the mistake objectively. As I've mentioned before, failure is a powerful teacher. The urge to get up and go do something is mitigated by the experiences that say "ow! that stove top is hot!".
Translate this problem to a leader within a business organization who has hundreds, perhaps thousands, even hundreds of thousands of followers. Imagine each employee as an engine of emotion: innovative, curious, yet careful. Having not a single outlet for handling outbursts or prodding introverts is a dangerous tactic - I'd even argue its scientifically detrimental to productivity! I consider my growing set of personal relationships within a lens that becomes magnified the more I learn about myself.
