Leadership Tip
Lessons from Costa Rica Adventure- Part 1
While in Cost Rica last week
I truly realized
the importance of guides.
In Manuel Antonio National Park
our guide
spotted animals,
taught us about them and
had us listen for
their sounds.
We would not have even noticed them
on our own,
without his assistance.
On the Pacuare River our guide
helped us
navigate and safely run the rapids,
avoiding troublesome rocks.
He told me and my raft mates how to paddle
and when to get down
in the raft.
He also taught us about the river
and its history
along the way.
Strong leaders are good guides.
They help to
navigate potential problems
and discover new ones.
They
educate and assist others
in seeing what they cannot on their
own.
A good leader needs to be
a good explorer and a good
listener.
What kind of guide are you?
Do you help
others navigate their way?
How well do you listen?
Are you
able to see potential problems
or discover new ones and solve
them?
As my adventure vacation taught me,
being a
good guide is critical
to navigating any path.
