Leaders Are Proacative, Not Reactive

How you react to a situation will determine the outcome of the situation.

If you are going to be a leader you must be ready to handle anything at a moment's notice. Things constantly change on a moment's notice. That's life.
How you react will determine how everyone else deals with the situation.

One example I heard recently is from a speaker who was planning to use his wife's van to come to PA to speak at a leadership seminar. The day before the trip, they found out the garage made a big mistake and could not have the van ready to go in time for the trip.

The speaker could have reacted negatively and canceled the trip or he could react proactively and find a way to make it happen. Fortunately he is a man of his word and he didn't even think of canceling. He found another vehicle to come out.

How you react to a situation will determine the outcome of the situation.
