Go back. When you fail, fail forward. The cousin were reaching out to get out of your comfort zone. If you do that, you will succeed. Look the hind and pull people up to replace you someday. That is really how you lead at all levels, reaching out they hand. Everything i talked about today is a lot of information but comes back down to the foundation eating at all levels.
