Leadership isn’t about having a perfect plan; it’s about having the courage to make the next best decision when the ground is shifting beneath you.
Eight weeks ago, Daniel Mendes was evacuated with his family from Doha while trying to support teachers and students during an escalating international conflict. In our latest episode of the Blue Skies Leadership Podcast, my co-host Daniel Mendes and I sit down for a raw conversation about what happens when “leadership theory” becomes your literal reality.
The hardest lesson learned: You have to give yourself permission not to be perfect. You will make mistakes when the environment is volatile. The goal isn’t a flawless execution; it’s providing coherence for your community.
We have postponed releasing this episode (Daniel M. now back in Doha) because of the emotional toll it has taken on Daniel, his family, and their community. We’re sharing this now because we want to give other leaders permission to be human.
