Beskrivelse
After a challenging year for everyone on planet Earth in 2020, COVID continued to wreak havoc moving into 2021. Little did anyone realize just how devastating this virus would prove to be and the number of lives that would be adversely impacted. The year 2021 started off by finding me at home where I was able to enjoy the holidays. That fortune quickly turned in early February when I was summoned to the Region IX Office in Oakland to once again assist in combatting Mr. COVID. After having spent six months at the epicenter of this pandemic last year in New York/New Jersey, since that point, the epicenter crossed the country and now was smack dab in California! From California, it was off to Las Vegas on a White House-supported mission to assist in increasing the low vaccination rates in this COVID hotbed where the Delta variant was quickly taking hold. During both of these 2021 deployments, I met some more outstanding people who were doing their very best to assist people in need while navigating through a bureaucratic system not designed for swift intervention! This deployment experience would turn out to be yet another great leadership laboratory in which many lessons could be captured, learned, and shared. During such times of crisis, true leaders step up to meet the challenge no matter how daunting the task. Others occupying leadership positions without the requisite skill sets to be successful simply died on the vine and had very little positive impact! It is through this leadership lens that I begin this next adventure in 2021 in California.
