John Maxwell says, “Leadership ability is the lid that determines a person’s level of effectiveness.” He calls this the Law of the Lid. Your leadership ability—for better or worse—always determines the potential impact you can have on your organization. To shoot for the stars, you have to raise the lid on your leadership ability.
This week, our Human Resources Director of 11 years stepped aside in order to lift the lid not only for her own career but also for those who follow her in the organization. As NASA’s Johnson Space Center Director Ellen Ochoa noted, Natalie Saiz wanted to further enhance her business acumen while also providing opportunities for others in her organization. I personally benefited from Natalie’s leadership and her decision, as Dr. Ochoa named me Acting Director of Human Resources effective January 26th.
