The challenge lies in guaranteeing the opportunity.

I'm glad I came across your blog. I enjoy the way you write. I particularly liked the insight in this post. In hindsight, I can see the "blessed ignorance" principle at play when I've worked with the managers who helped me excel the most. Though some were fully aware of my flaws, they didn't harp on them, but rather gave me direction and let me prove myself capable and competent. I see a parallel with how, in football, if a player fumbles the ball, the best coaches make sure to call their number in the very next play. Choosing to ignore the player's flaw and instead giving them the opportunity to rise above it. Great stuff. Keep in touch! Hey Wayne,
