Excerpt: At the outset it is important to note that no one is perfect. We all struggle with self-doubt, interpersonal conflicts and project overload from time to time. Despite our best attempts, some days we fall down. However, the really effective keep the time on the ground to a minimum and the rate of verticality at a maximum.
