Are You Using The Perfect Storm Excuse?
I have been hearing about this 'perfect storm' theory for quite a while now and have come to the realization that, this is not about the state of things, but, about what should have or at the very least could have been done prior to all of this mess. If we continue to wallow in the moment of 'woe is me', then there is no chance for us to lead into a brighter day tomorrow. Stop complaining, be happy and do something. Here is an article in the Washington Post that has got me thinking about how I am managing and leading in this current economy.
