William, way to represent Cincinnati, brother!!  Great to see your post here!

This is a great, but challenging perspective.  I'm sure nobody wants to believe they are lowering the bar for the sake of our own self-preservation.  I love how you really make us think.

Resilience is, without question, a  necessary attribute for successful leadership.  We are all going to fail at times, for certain.  What we need to be cognizant of is how quickly we brush ourselves off AND how quickly we begin standing just as upright as before!

Thanks for the reminder today, as well as for the challenge to really think about how we could be limiting ourselves.  This is always worth the extra thought!!
