Hi Tal,
Thanks for sharing your insightful wisdom for encouraging people to be the best they can be. Yesterday I was feeling overwhelmed by all the work we need to accomplish and privately fussing about how we'd pull it off with our current staff.  During our staffing call, one of our leaders turned my whole thinking around by reminding me that we've done a lot more is less time and with less staff. It was all about breaking the project down into bite-size chunks and assigning the right people to the tasks.  I left that call both encouraged, but also a bit embarrassed. I knew this, but succumbing to the stress of the moment overshadowed my logic. The moral of the story: Listen to the encouraging leaders around you.  They know what you're capable of accomplishing!
