What's your first reaction?

What is your FIRST reaction when things go wrong?

Think about it ,  because it is very important. It sets the tone for those around you.
The one thing that we know is the things will go wrong.
No matter what business you are in or how hard you plan you can rest assure that something will happen to offset what plan that you had in place.

I am still surprised that people are surprised or angered when a curve ball comes their way.

It is how you react that separated you from the rest.
Stay in control, think do not just react.
Work the problem.

Apollo 13 is a great movie and what makes it great is not just the acting but that it was true. It actually happened and people had to come together in a very short amount of time to help save lives.
At first some people panic and start blaming others and pointing fingers and the gentleman in charge gets their attention and tells them all to stop and to work together and solve the problem.

That is most people's first reaction, to get angry or to point the blame. Both do nothing in the moment and will solve nothing. There is plenty of time for that after.
