Every crisis presents an opportunity for someone to shine.
A natural disaster allows emergency medical technicians to put their skills to use like no simulation can. A medical emergency tests the ability of a doctor. And a little bad weather is a chance for airplane pilots to sharpen their flying skills. Now, no one wishes for natural disasters, medical emergencies or bad weather, but some people thrive in these situations more than others. Well, given what has happened in the stock market this past year, and what's beginning to look like a broader economic slump within corporate America, this just might be a great time to be a leader.
