The New Science is something that I have common to realize within my job very quickly. Day to day business in retail is very unpredictable. Environmental elements have common to change the pattern of business in the store quickly and with little notice. Leaders must be able to change their priority at the drop of a hat.
Most leaders develop detailed visions of what the hope to accomplish in a day and even a year.
Personally I have written my vision for the year over at least twenty times just this year. My priority list, written each day changes hour to hour. The ability to adjust and react is the key to great leadership. Putting order to the chaos is not as easily done as many might think. Making split decisions has become an art not easily mastered.
