What did you learn about leadership and team work in your ropes course?

The line between failure and success is so fine that often a single extra effort is all that is needed to bring victory out of defeat. One of the things I learned from the ropes course about leadership was that at times a leader must make the hard decisions that no one else is willing to make. Emotions are very powerful and sometimes it is in the best interest of the team to step back from emotions in order to be able to make the wisest choices. I learned that excellence is not an act but a habit. A coach of mine once told me to “practice like you play every time” and the ropes course reiterated this point. I learned every individual has there own unique set of skills and success comes when we apply our individual skills towards a common goal. A good leader should put the needs of others before there own individual desires and a good leader inspires others with confidence.
