Early in my career, a more senior colleague gave me a bit of advice. "You act like you are expecting the cavalry to ride over the hill and rescue everything," he said. "There is no cavalry. Nobody is coming. The only people who will rescue us is us."
I think about that a lot
🎵 Arm yourself, because no one else here will save you 🎵
I got a related bit of advice as a teenage Air Force brat from a grown-up in the service. "If you look around and can't tell who's in charge," he said, "that means YOU’RE in charge – at least until someone with actual authority shows up and relieves you."
