It can be lonely at the top, some say. Being a leader means setting the trail not following. Add a vision, passion to make a difference, desire to create change. You can feel like you are an explorer on your own in a desert. In times of change the isolation can seem unbearable. Frustration brews and simmers below the surface. You can see the change needed. You can see what will benefit the whole.

Rain and dirt mixed together on a sports field create an inviting mess to dive into. I make this observation after watching many soccer and AFL games this season. I notice that most players are unfazed by the mess on the ground and instead focus on the game. Their prize for trying is a body covered in mud, wet boots and a memorable experience sliding on the ground.
So my observation of wet weather sport made me think about the way people choose to work.
Oh, that old sports analogy again
First of all my apologies for choosing the obvious analogy of sport and work. This is done to death so let's assume you can make the link without me explaining the obvious - like a team at work is like a team on the football field. Heard it haven't you!
