Week 12 continues and is due next Monday.  

Ready, learn, lead!

How do you know if you are persevering or if you are being stubborn?  Bill Murphy, Jr. from Inc. recommends asking yourself the following questions:

1. Is the goal you are passionately and tenaciously pursuing truly worth your efforts?
2. Stepping beyond yourself, is your objective truly worth the time and efforts of other people on your team?
3. Can you articulate clearly and convincingly why the objective is a better use of time and effort than all the other things your team could be doing?
4. Is there a consensus about feasibility? Is there a real chance you're tilting at windmills, and insisting that others follow your lead into something that won't wind up with a good outcome?
5. Finally, are you able to point to times when you've admitted mistakes and shifted your position intelligently, based on feedback from others?
