He had no idea what was happening.
Eyes wide. Legs stiff. Just letting the escalator stairs carry him into the great unknown.

And honestly?
Same, buddy. Same.

But what struck me wasn’t the panic - it was the trust.

That little guy wasn’t in control, but he looked at his human like: β€œπ˜ π˜₯π˜°π˜―β€™π˜΅ 𝘨𝘦𝘡 π˜ͺ𝘡, 𝘣𝘢𝘡 π˜ͺ𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘢 𝘴𝘒𝘺 𝘡𝘩π˜ͺ𝘴 π˜ͺ𝘴 𝘡𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘒𝘺, π˜β€™π˜­π˜­ 𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘭 𝘸π˜ͺ𝘡𝘩 π˜ͺ𝘡.”

Managing in times of uncertainty is a lot like that:
➑️ You won’t always have all the answers
➑️ The ground may move under you (sometimes literally)
➑️ But if your team trusts you, they’ll collaborate and soar - even if it feels weird or terrifying or just... escalator-y

So be the kind of leader your team can look at with Frenchie-level faith.

And bring snacks.
Always bring snacks.
