Everybody’s Got A Little Hero In Them
Posted by Mitch Mitchell on Jun 24, 2012
Often when I talk about leadership, I like to say that everyone can be a leader, and at some point in every person's life they've had a chance to be a leader, and have either taken that opportunity or let it go.
Sometimes, the option is to either be heroic or be a victim. Sometimes, just surviving is being heroic. Other times, helping someone else survive is both heroic and showing great leadership.
This is a relatively short post because I want to show this video that came my way via an email a friend in Australia sent to me. It focuses on something I didn't even know was a part of September 11th, 2001, and it shows that, when the chips are down, sometimes the most unlikely options come to the fore, and the most unlikely people become heroes in their own right. And in my opinion, those heroes are the types of leaders we all need to learn how to be. Because leadership doesn't mean you always have to be "on"; you just have to be there when needed.
Enjoy the video and let me know if you agree with me:
This video is absolutely amazing, Mitch. I watch it for first time and honestly I see how little information I got about the accident, the panic and people that have tried to help.
It was a scary time and so many people stepped up to the plate, more than I’d realized.
I was at my first home office at my grandma’s house. I was working till late as usual and she came and said to me, something had happened, come to see on TV. At first I didn’t believe what I am seeing, it was very scary.
Carl, I saw the 2nd plane hit on live TV; not pleased at all. But a story like this one is inspiring.
Hi Mitchell. You are definitely right and I can say that I am a hero in my own way especially for my friends and family.I enjoyed the video! 🙂
I’m glad Deanne, and happy you liked the video as well.
