I get the privilege to lead an exceptional team of men and women during the day and get the honor of working with my husband on our farm dreams after hours.
As a leader you often are asked if there are any potential flight risks. If you are not familiar with the term it basically means are there any possibilities that someone is looking for a better opportunity outside the organization.
Typically as a leader if you have any top talent as a flight risk to leave to competitors you try to find development opportunities to help them to the next level within the organization.
If you would have asked me 5 years ago I would have told you that my ultimate goal was to climb that corporate ladder so when my leader was asked about a flight risk I would not come up in conversation…I was the perfect corporate employee. Work over family…
What I have come to realize is that when you have a potential flight risk and the opportunity presented isn’t another competitor but a dream or vision… you don’t stand a chance.
Ryan and I would joke about being flight risk adjacent. Which to us meant we are not quite a flight risk but flying along side of the possibility… I mean we even talked about it on a video. We have set things in motion, our motive is no longer monetary.. it is happiness and living a life that has meaning.
It is not a secret we have a dream, a vision and a purpose which has started to be undeniable. We no longer hide its shine.
So now when my leader is asked about flight risk I know my name crosses that list and the explanation isn’t due to competition but due to an undeniable passion and purpose to live louder. But.. until I depart they will continue to get 110% and my commitment to leave the organization better than when I found it. Here’s to being flight risk adjacent ✈️
Moral of the story… Change is scary but so is not chasing your dreams. #flightriskadjacent
