12 Keys to Managing the 17% Moments
A few years ago, I was privileged to play golf with a well-recognized leader in the field of technology. As the golf round unfolded, he was having a tough day… a bad day… a horrible day of golf. Missed shots, shanks, hooks, whiffs, and YES– water balls! Finally, on the 17th hole, he had it– he blew up and hauled off and threw a golf club in the lake. I felt terrible but it was truly awkward.
We all have bad days, tough days. These are the 17% Moments– when we’re under stress, facing setbacks, or navigating a challenging relationship. These 17% moments define two important things:
- Your true influence with others– your leadership
- Your reputation
You might be facing…
- a challenge and pressure point
- a level of stress that is unique
- a relationship that needs repair
- an uncertainty
Here’s to playing big!
