Hahah well garlic bread kind of counts but pure garlic is best! We've got 3 bulbs of it in the house at all times :D you can smell me coming from 20 feet away!
Yeah for sure it helps when you have a solid management team. I wasn't interested in leadership roles before but I know that it's probably something I will have to do at some point. I don't love it but know I can do it and know that it's important to have capable people to lead. We have a capable person shortage right now and think it's a way I can affect positive change, at least I hope. Just getting my base created to help support me in that future role, whenever I take the jump to it. I have a strong sense of team building and making people around me successful as I can, so I would like to try my hand at it and see if it can work out or if it's a dumpster fire and I do something else haha.
Being a good leader isn't easy, but it's made a lot harder by egotistical, selfish, prideful and pretenders who think leading is all about pointing the finger and ordering people around. It is not that at all. It can be a lonely job, one can't be everyone's friend all the time, but one can be empathetic, focused on solutions, engaging and empowering...well, I've written so many posts about it I'm sure I don't need to say it all again.
When the time is right you'll know, or it'll be thrust upon you, and when it is just do your best, seek to learn, know you'll make mistakes and that your best asset is the people you lead.
And eat garlic.
Hahaha yes absolutely. Eat garlic!
Solid points for sure man!
Garlic keeps vamps away too you know. Buffy the vampire slayer taught me that.
