I view leadership as a journey. Like most journeys it has its highs and lows. Sometimes I am working on all cylinders and practicing great leadership techniques. Other times, I struggle and find myself practicing more of the “don’ts” than the “do’s” of leadership. I suspect most leaders have similar experiences. Like most worthwhile things in life, I find when I’m struggling with leadership I need to go back to the basics – to remember that leadership isn’t about ME – it’s about others!

As a recent spate of storms highlighted, emergency alerts are effective—but often overly broad. Improving mobile and broadcast tech, backed by associations, could help narrow the focus. One of the biggest problems with the traditional emergency alert system—the one that appears on television—is that it’s not specific enough. And it’s been coming to a head in recent weeks, amid an outbreak of tornadoes throughout the country—some of which struck as far east as New Jersey.

While it may sound flippant, when helping a client make a decision I’ll often ask “What’s the worst that can happen?” Because the reality is, for many decisions, the worst thing that can happen is really not that bad, and making no decision at all can actually be worse (i.e., maintaining the status quo).
