September 7, 2023, Thursday night, 7:09pm, pacific standard time, hotel room in Bakersfield, California, USA. Had a group call with the Palm Desert office today. Lots of raw emotion and heartache. Much of the team is frustrated by an unclear vision from the outgoing leader. Nobody did anything wrong, he was/is trying to lead. Yet his lack of experience guiding a team shows through. Luckily, the situation isn’t irreparable. Yet it is startling to see the transformation. Three months ago that team was pulling together and conquering the world. Now they are angry, hurt and demoralized. Next week I am in San Diego Tuesday and Wednesday. I will make a trip to the desert to meet with the team on Thursday and try to hash things out. We need to get back on track and find the old fire again.
