Great demonstration of the power of humility, forgiveness and choosing reconciliation over offense. This is the kind of response we need to encourage and develop in the people we lead. Just a couple quick reflections: 1. Take time to observe and determine the facts before reacting. When the batter is on first base he watches the pitcher with a posture of humility and a desire for understanding in the context of patience. 2. Choose to act with mindfulness and sensitivity towards the offender and the observing world. Once the batter observes the context of the pitcher (unintentional mistake that devesates the pitcher) the batter makes a brave decision to approach in a posture of humility. Pace and time ensure this doesn't turn into a larger conflict. 3. Forgive. Privately, the batter seeing the pitcher's sorrow, addresses the situation and demonstrates true forgiveness. 4. Rally. Unify the relationship, the team and outside observers around higher values, and virtues. #servantleadership

Sportsmanship. Alive and well?

Understanding the difference between action/outcome and intent. So important in choosing the right response.

We all have a choice in how we react...

This post received more engagement than many of my recent posts and now the story has shifted. It has shifted in a way that might be even more informative. Jordan Chiles was recently stripped of her bronze medal and officially now listed as 5th place. Why? It is complicated. Chiles was awarded bronze was score based (re)calculated based upon her degree of difficulty. It was not immediately awarded but after a recalculation of her score when judges accounted for that difficulty-- but, and here is the rub, her coaches appeal to include the difficulty was submitted at 64 seconds after her first score was posted. The rules are appeals must be made in under 60 seconds. 4 seconds. The #olympics like #business is always a game of seconds, inches, and ounces. Some (reportedly both countries) argue both Jordan and the now Romanian bronze winner Anna Bǎrbosa should each receive a bronze (share the medal). I don't pretend to know how this should go, but I this raises some key considerations. The pressure of social media Jordan Chiles publicly announced she is taking herself off #socialmedia Jordan has been asked to return the medal. #mentalhealth #mentalfitness is an extreme challenge in #highperformance individuals and teams. (see the documentary Weight of Gold). I hope Jordan is surrounded by the support she needs right now with this bright light on her. Balancing High Performance and Wellbeing Just like Simone showed us, it is not always going to break your way. How do you handle these moments--fair or unfair? How do you support your greatest talents when you are trying to #lead #highperformance individuals and teams without creating #burnout, while striving for #mentalfitness. Congratulations to Anna and Jordan, you remain a champion in my mind and heart. Alison Levine don't you have something to say about "going all the way to the top"? your sage wisdom might be needed here. #wellbeing Potentially of interest to: Daniela Ochoa, Natalie Nixon, PhD Cassandra Worthy Annalie Killian Jay Callahan Lisa Warren, J.D.
