Finding Keys and Leadership Insights: A Grandson’s Lesson

My keys vanished mysteriously…

right before a trip from Rehoboth Beach to Annapolis with my grandson.

After searching the trunk and unpacking and repacking bags, I decided to ask my 7-year-old grandson for help. 

I opened the trunk to show him the keys weren’t there.

And then…

Marshall saw the keys.

They were right at his eye level in a place I would not think to look.

Marshall’s face beamed with pride.

This incident reminds me of several leadership tips and I could write a blog on each one if I made the time. I’ll keep it short.

  1. The most experienced person doesn’t have all the answers.
  2. Seek insights from the most junior team members.
  3. Don’t hesitate to ask for help.
  4. Solutions can be right in front of us, and we may not see them.
  5. We are stronger when we work together.

What lesson do you recognize?

ONWARD!
