The Most Valuable Player
When I was in school, I decided I wanted to be an officer in the band. There were several different positions on the officer board, but I had my sights set on a particular job. I wanted to be a Section Leader. Then came announcement day, the list of officers was posted, and as I walked up, I saw my name on the list – But not as a section leader. I was selected to be a manager.
"The most valuable player on any team is the player who is willing to learn"
You can ill afford to let the status quo remain in control when experiencing challenges within your most critical business processes.
A Manager! What was I going to do? I had worked toward and planned on being a section leader. I didn’t know the first thing about being a manager. I quickly walked up to our teacher and told him all the reasons that I was unqualified for the position. He then said something that has stayed with me to this very day – “The most valuable player on any team is the player who is willing to learn.”
That year, I learned everything I could about being a manager. But more importantly, I learned the importance of challenging myself, stepping outside my comfort zone, and that it’s okay to fail. But more than anything, I learned the importance of buckling down to understand new concepts. These lessons have been incredibly influential in my personal development, as well as my career.
