So you had an idea and now it’s gone. You missed the window. You didn’t commit on time. You simply didn’t get it done and someone else did. Now you know for the next time.
You will feel the inevitable crunch of tasks as you work towards a release. Bugs will rise, stories will come back, and test cases will fail. The task crunch is on. This is where the leader steps in and sets the priority, sets the pace, and controls the crunch so that day in, day out, everyone knows what they are doing, they aren’t stressed, they aren’t worried, they are focused on what they need to…

Successes build strength and courage to try what is next. There is always success in failure… An idea you tried that didn’t quite pan out, but now you know. The code didn’t work as a product but could be a feature. The process that missed the mark, but exposed the cracks that you never saw before. There is success in everything, if you are willing to look for it.
