Be Unfuckwithable

Many speak about being this picture-perfect image of a leader, full of poise, calm and collected, yet vulnerable, sensitive, and thoughtful, all critical traits of a

successful leader, aren't they? Then you paddle, waddle, flip-flap, slip and trip, walk, talk, think, and plan about the next survival plan. The optics are terrible.

Hours turn to days, days to quarters, huffing, puffing, pulling, and pushing through a difficult situation, and someone you can't stand asks how you are. You think I'm like a duck, calm on top and furiously paddling below, but choose to offer a polite smile and nod without uttering a word.

Your gut churns. But it's not over. You're in for a surprise.

Work pressure is real, and it does not make for any excellent optics!
