Deckplate Leadership

Hello all! I am back from a bit of a hiatus. I’ve just been busy with life, getting settled into our new home in Georgia and my new jobs….I say jobs-plural because I had been placed in charge of a program that was ultimately disolved and am now getting settled into my new position, which is actually a bit of a promotion as a result of the way I handled my job in my old position as a program manager.

Needless to say, I have a slew of topics to write about with regards to leadership. In my new jobs here I’ve dealt with a LOT of conflict management situations, indecent exposure, deaths in the family, contract difficulties…I feel like I’ve run through the entire spectrum in one way or another. While I’ve been able to handle most situations extremely well, I admit that I have made some leadership mistakes along the way. But that’s okay because I’ve definitely learned from them, and more often than not I have been able to redeem myself and apply those lessons that I learned from those mistakes.

I plan to write a lot more often again as things really have begun to slow down a bit. So please keep coming back and checking in. I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on things-leadership as well.

Thanks to Crossderry and some of my other friends for encouraging me to write on here again!

Yak at you all soon!
