Running has taken a backseat this week with oh-so-much going on at school, and I have also been feeling a little unwell, so I thought I'd give my body a bit of rest. It is weird though how I see people running and I just want to run, the weather being so nice and all (which is going to change very very soon). However, I know that I shouldn't and/or have other priorities to take care of, and so unwillingly I don't run. Putting something on the back-burner - I have learnt - is a skill.
Leadership is something you hear so much of during Business School. I can't tell you how many times we've had to prove to someone that we have led people and managed people and led teams to success (starting with the business school applications!). I'm not sure if everyone realizes that leadership is not always about taking the lead - I think it is also about giving up the lead when you know something at hand is someone else's strong-suit. Knowing when to stay out of the limelight, is also a skill, and an important one at that. I wonder if we will ever be asked the question - "Tell me about a time when you gave up your lead and let someone else shine".
Bottom Line: Stepping back is as important as stepping up.
