KC Campbell on Handling Stressful Situations
Fantastic reminders and lessons learned from friend and fellow pilot, KC Campbell ���
���When we hit turbulence in an airplane, we���re taught to use consistent, smooth, and steady control inputs. If there���s an emergency, we���re taught to focus on what���s most important first and to remain calm and composed under pressure.
���When we face a stressful situation in our life, these same concepts apply . . . we need to have a balanced and steady response while focusing on what���s most important. So, what happens when we take the wrong approach and what can we do to adjust?
Overreacting to turbulence. If we���re heavy-handed and take the wrong action, we can exacerbate the problem.
Take a deep breath. Take the time to assess the situation, and then take the appropriate action.
Ignoring the turbulence and assuming you don���t have to adapt.
Ensure you are not so overly committed to your current approach that you don���t adjust when necessary.
Losing sight of what���s most important. We have unfortunately seen several aircraft accidents as a result of being overly focused on the immediate problem, and nobody actually focused on flying the airplane.
Not everyone on the team can be focused on the immediate problem or difficulty, some still need to ensure they are looking down the road at what���s ahead.
���When faced with chaos, crisis, or turbulence in your life, take a deep breath, focus on what���s most important . . . Maintain control. Analyze the situation. Take the proper action. And then debrief your actions so you can do it better the next time.���

Leadership History Lesson for November 17th
On this day in leadership history in 1863, U.S. President Lincoln delivered his Gettysburg Address as he dedicated a national cemetery at the site of the Civil War battlefield in Pennsylvania. The main message of the Gettysburg Address is that ideals are worth dying for and that it is up to the living to carry on the work of those who died to protect ideals.
What���s the leadership lesson? Choose ideals in your own leadership that others would be willing to die for.
