How you ever wondered how to excel at what you do?
What does it take to lead the complexities of your success through the evolving seasons of your life and your career?
I recently read an article by someone named Dr. Richard Blackaby, who put this in the perspective of farming.
For those of us who live in North America, we' are generally familiar with the four primary seasons. Spring, summer, fall, and winter
If you ask a farmer, they would love to be in a harvest season continuously. Where crops are produced in abundance, but that's impossible.
Each season serves its purpose, and without one, the other would not be successful.
Patience, tending and weathering the storms eventually will bring growth, but then winter comes, and it's time for a period of rest and reflection.
Farmers know that to be successful, they must utilize all four seasons.
As leaders, do we ever get stuck when we feel we're not in a season of harvest with our accomplishments when change is coming, or life becomes quiet?
How can we, as leaders, utilize the evolving seasons of our leadership to lead the complexities of our success and learn to excel at what we do?
Get ready; it's time to hear some words of wisdom on self-leadership and the journey of many seasons from today's guest expert Dr. David Lee.
Dr. David Lee is the Professor of Educational Leadership at The University of Southern Mississippi. His experience includes being a teacher, principal, superintendent of schools, and deputy state superintendent of education for the State of Louisiana.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
