Hard weeks happen to even the best leaders. Give yourself grace, suggests leader @Lead2Support:
ALT "Had a tough week? Remind yourself: There are only 60 minutes in the darkest hour and you don’t have to fix big problems or make big decisions when you are feeling big emotions. Most of all – give yourself grace. Leadership is a learning curve and tough weeks happen to every great leader. Learn from the moment and move forward. Say sorry, find a small win, vent to a friend. A hard week does not define you!" —Leader Sarah Sirgo

"The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. ... We must remember that intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character–that is the goal of true education." - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Morehouse College, 1948 #MLKday
