America labeled Charles Lindbergh as Lucky Lindy, but he knew better.
We've read his 1927 book about his famous transatlantic trip.
In it, he made clear that his success was due almost entirely to preparation, not luck or, as I prefer to call it, circumstance.
Flights are almost always routine, but every time we push back from the gate, we must be prepared for the unexpected.
Fighter pilot Lt.
Heather Penney was also given a similar nickname,Lucky Penney.
During the events of September 11, 2001 (9/11), Penney was given her orders to take down United Airlines Flight 93 that was heading toward Washington and most likely the White House.
There was something larger than life at stake, and she was prepared for the unexpected and would do whatever it took.
Similarly, leaders are prepared for the unexpected.
