In times of stress, like we are in these weeks with ADM, it is even more important to communicate clearly, praise often for a good job, and show everyone more patience than normal with fellow team members. 

When a team goes through a time of stress, especially when it is going to a HNL, we find ourselves doing 1 of 2 things:

1.  The stress of the situation makes team members begin to fight against each other because they are frustrated with the current situation.  The Team can actually come apart during a time such as we find ourselves in.

2. The stress of the situation makes team members begin to defend each other and help other team members cure their mistakes.  The Team can actually come/bind together during a time such as we find ourselves in.

So I challenge everyone over these next couple of weeks to allow this current situation to binds us together and not pull us apart.  As this is an individual decision, I urge you to think about it.

Thank you and together we can Lead On!
