If you are caught unprepared, let it be for something that you can not control. At least then you don't question your ability
Ex. Many people on high mountains turn around because of unforeseen environmental factors. Otherwise, they are asking themselves could I have trained harder?.
People expect more from you when you are a leader, so make sure you come prepared in every way.
“To be an effective leader, it’s important that you condition yourself for time that sleep is not an option.”
Many people would say I have this covered. I can make it through a day with only 4 hours of sleep
Levine talks about a how you want to go on a climb with people more skilled than yourself, same when choosing teammates. If you surround yourself with people better than you, you will get better.
She also talks about the importance of finding a mentor. She said, “ Don’t wait for mentors to come to you.”
“When you see someone scared about making huge leap-reach out”
Levine also talk about how you can develop a strong team by allowing others to lead and empowering others to take responsibility. It helps the leader share the workload. It also prepare them for worst case scenarios.
Ex. the 1996 Everest climb - the team leaders where not to be found during a deadly storm, so many just sat in confusion.
“Good leaders understand it's their duty to develop leadership skills in others”
