Leadership in Action: “Stupid Hurts”

Lesson Application

What impresses me most about this "Stupid Hurts" lesson is John's ability to learn from what he calls "the stupidest thing I've ever done." The true lesson, however, goes well beyond what John learned from his experience. To me, the lesson was in how he evaluated the entire situation.

Could you take one of your "stupid" moments in life and share it so others could benefit?

Think of that moment right now - something that you wish you could take back. Now, take that experience and determine five lessons you can learn from it. That's what John has done in this month's MIC lesson. The lessons from John's airport security experience are powerful, but what I learned, and what I'd like to challenge us with, is the way he developed that experience into a learning opportunity.
