Thirty day hath September… you probably remember those as the first words of a verse we all learned as kids to learn the number of days in each month. That’s also how we learned about leap years, and the extra day added to February to keep the calendar year aligned with the orbit of the sun: back then, that sounded like something out of a science-fiction movie. I often wanted to ask what would happen if we didn’t have that extra day every four years – nobody had an answer to that, so we just had to accept it on faith. Today, everything is about transparency, making sure stuff is revealed and explained clearly: smartphones and Google bring knowledge to our fingertips, and the internet and 24-hour news cycles keeps us attuned to all the latest happenings. Knowledge and awareness are everything in our fast-paced world. I wonder if anyone will stop thinking about the coronavirus long enough today or tomorrow to remember that this once-every-four-year event is happening and how it helps to keep us on track. And while you’re at that, remind your employees to remember to leap into alignment with the rest of their teammates today.
