Day: February 13, 2017

In this 19 minute podcast episode, host David Guerra talks about the 10th rule in his book the Walking Leader and talks about Leadership in the News.

Rule #10 of the Walking Leader is CATCH THEM IN THE ACT OF DOING SOMETHING GOOD. When walking the company floor, it behooves a Walking Leader to get out there and catch them in the act of doing good, exemplary work. It is not always just bad news.

In his LEADERSHIP IN THE NEWS segment, David talks about the passing of one the greatest military leaders in the modern era; Retired US Army Lieutenant General Hal Moore of WE WERE SOLDIERS ONCE…AND YOUNG fame. Hal Moore led the 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry of the 3rd Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) in one of the first major battles of the Vietnam War. His dedication to his men both on and off the field of combat is the stuff of legends.

ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN B.

Always have a Plan B. Yes, I know there is people that say, “Why have a plan B or why have a plan A if you are going to have a Plan B?”

Remember, it can all be going great until the road comes to a dead end and then what do you do?

Seriously, always have a Plan B. Have it in the back of your mind. Always have an out. Have a way out. Have an emergency plan. Consider those pre-Take Off speeches telling you where the Emergency exits are; front, center and rear of the plane is where you will find your closest emergency exit. Remember, they are telling you this because this is their Plan B. Normally, you just exit out the front door but you never know. So that’s why it’s important to always have a plan be especially on a Monday because you never know how the rest of the week is going to turn out.

Just get through Monday and you pretty much have the rest of the week take care of and that is just life. In anything, you do always have a plan B because you never know what is going to happen. Live your Plan A and execute it all the way, as much as you can.

If it does not turn out the way you want it to then you know what to do. You fall back on Plan B. Now once you are executing Plan B start thinking of a Plan C and so on. However, do not think about Plan C if you are on Plan A. You do not need to do think Plan C because that is just a waste of Resources and Energy causing you to create more frustrations because now you are setting yourself up for failure.

Always have one back-up plan, Plan B.

Thank you,
David Guerra
