7. Raising the bar for everyone

At university, a friend decided to compete in the Modern Pentathlon. He was a good athlete and swimmer. But, knew nothing of pistol shooting, fencing or show jumping. I was no sportsman, but had grown up with horses and done some fencing. So, he asked for tips. And, asked another friend about shooting. From these slim pointers, he worked with the team coach and very quickly became quite accomplished.

As leaders, we each need to show such efficiency and flexibility in our learning: recognising our deficiencies, being open to coaching and learning to get on top of new technologies or challenges. And, as we progress, confronting our fears (as my friend did around horses) and learning from our mistakes (as he did when he fell off). Always getting back up and trying again. That's what this Action Pack is about.
