A good plan is to have a back up plan

PLAN B!

The best leaders and best performers in life are the ones that are best at Plan B. Rarely does Plan A goes exactly as we planned. Most of the time we need to make adjustments, if not complete overhauls, to the original plans. When this happens, real leadership comes to the top...cream rises to the top. Great leaders and good life performers, put in Plan B immediately and with confidence when Plan A does not go...well as planned.

But I have to tell you how rare this is to see. Most of the time, in real life, we freeze and don't act when Plan A does not work out. We wait....wait again...wait some more without any action. Don't do this. As a leader, have the courage and strength to put in Plan B and make it happen.

Also as a note. Great leaders always have a plan B to begin with. Great leaders and life performers know that back up plans are needed and thought out. If you don't ever use them, good for you. You are an exception. For most of us, we need a Plan B, so prepare for it. And when A does not work out, put Plan B in and keep moving forward. That is what leadership is all about. Keep moving the ball forward in life and business.
