TGIF!!
Today we continue the journey through the Teamwork chapter of Doug Dickerson’s book, Leaders Without Borders.

A smart leader is engaged and is simply a facilitator of a productive environment of people with a shared mission.
But sometimes interruptions and distractions occur.
How do you handle them?

In leadership, unexpected interruptions can throw the team off if not properly prepared.
Interruptions can’t always be prevented or predicted, but they can be successfully managed.
Learning how to recognize them and respond to them will prepare your team for success.

Interruptions come to us in various forms.
Whatever your interruption may be, you should be flexible enough to adjust to the situation.
If you can’t bend, you’ll break.
What some may see as an interruption to progress may be nothing more than an opportunity in the making.

Interruptions can bring your team together.
Round up the go-to players who are committed to the vision and purposes of the organization and work together for its success.

Interruptions can be a blessing in disguise.
Unexpected interruptions may annoy us, but if we are observant, they can turn out to be something good we never anticipated.

Quite possibly, unexpected interruptions can be the beginning of something grand that we never expected.
And yes, as times they can be a nuisance.
The difference is in keeping the right attitude when they come your way.
