When this is all over and we're cleaning the dust from our desks, let's remember to not sink into our old comfort zone. Let's ask ourselves now, how are our adaptations going to influence the ways that we lead our teams and lead up to our leaders?

After the first MOR session, with help from Peggy at our follow up coaching session, I set my goals and action items. One of my action items is shifting to intentional response to urgent matters.

Even though I am not meeting my direct reports in person during the COVID-19 pandemic, there are plenty of distractions on my computer screen.
