What is one lesson that you have learned that has proven significant in your career?
Don't rush to rally the troops when something doesn't go your way. I think it's very important to maintain a teamwork mentality and to talk things through before you act hastily.
Try to get everyone's opinions on something when it's not necessary. If you have more of a conversation, usually with your leadership, they'll be able to provide you with more context on why decisions may have been made. But I think that's probably the biggest lesson I have ever learned in this field.
