You Gotta Suit Up For Them All

Heather's Book on Leadership*, Chapter: Leadership Lessons from Sports, page 297:
"You win some,
you lose some,
and some get rained out,
but you gotta suit up
for them all."
~ J. Askenberg

Book does not exist, but if it, it would have this chapter and another one dedicated entirely what can be learned from Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Yes, I know he has a leadership twitter account).

But THIS quote, I used to think about when my faculty were beat up by students over and over again. Students would push every button my faculty had, bringing them to the edge. And the next day, I needed my faculty to get up and go to work again. Suit up, again. Win or lose. Those were the faculty I hired. I hired 30 of them in my time. Only 1 dud in the mix. Not bad.
