I can check it out, see how it looks up there.
There is a reason any good military commander uses scouts.
They can bring back the intel.
How many troops? What is the lay of the land?
Obstacles looming just over that hill?
Is there a path through the danger?
If someone is willing to go first, she helps others.
She takes the risks herself for the reward of information.
Through action, she can demonstrate something possible.
So others can make the same journey,
Once they know it is safe up ahead.
In what ways can you lead today? Where are you holding back... waiting?
It's easier to let someone else go first.
But it leaves you small....
