It’s officially summer, which means road trip season—think beautiful vistas, peaceful campgrounds and the promise of a new adventure around every turn. The reality, however, is not always that simple. Road trips can also mean flat tires, traffic jams and backseat arguments over who gets to control the playlist. To enjoy the benefits, we must learn to relinquish control, prioritize and focus on the positive. These life lessons extend beyond the pavement to the practice of designing and leading an organization.
