Know your role
My youngest daughter played volleyball in high school.
She had great coaches. I wasn’t one of them.
Sitting in the stands, I recognized the main benefit of knowing little about volleyball:
I couldn’t multi-role.
My role was laser focused on my unique strength: Dad.
Trying to fill multiple rolls can be a lot like multitasking—code for doing several things mediocre at the same time.
During this season of uncertainty, it’s not the time to be “all things to all people.”
It’s time to hone in on your key role by identifying your innate strength:
Encouragement
Strategy
Innovation
Listening
Showing empathy
Gathering resources
Steadfastness
Now, more than ever, focus on what you do best.
Then, invite others to rise to the challenge of doing the same.
