Reflecting on the Story:
How many leaders are highlighted in this story?
Think of the kid in the basketball game from the opposing team who passed the ball to Mitchell; how did he arrive at his leadership moment?
Personal Reflection:
In my opinion, I believe he used the situation awareness cycle to figure out what was going on, combined it with the integrity he was taught, fed off the positive leadership examples being displayed, and made a time sensitive decision to lead with compassion. It doesn’t get any better than that.
Remember, you can lead from anywhere…are you leading with compassion?
