Waiting for food with my daughter at a restaurant is like a crash course in executive leadership.
We start off hopeful and patient, but as hunger (and impatience) kicks in, our inner CEOs emerge. She's negotiating with the waiter like a seasoned dealmaker, demanding 'quicker service or bust.'
Meanwhile, I'm trying to maintain composure, managing tantrums (mine included) with the finesse of a boardroom pro.
We strategize—should we 'restructure' our order or 'delegate' the task of keeping us entertained? Amidst the chaos, we learn resilience (and the art of distraction) faster than any corporate seminar could teach.
By the time our food arrives, we've mastered the art of crisis management and discovered a newfound respect for each other's decision-making skills. Who knew 'hangry' could be such a powerful catalyst for leadership growth?
BTW - the tacos and queso were worth it!
