Every holiday season brings about a personal practice in which I do an evaluation of my inner circle—acknowledging the partnerships that push me to be better and identifying the relationships that hinder my success. Focusing on the people we surround ourselves with most gives us an indicator of how or why things turned out either positive or negative in the prior year and portends what lies ahead.
Doubt & Lack Of Support Ironically Fuel Job Security For Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers
Job security. Everyone craves it, especially when the world feels upside down.
And nothing gives that stamp of approval like being widely considered the most talented in your industry, a proven winner, and the face of the company—or so I thought. Everything about surefire first-ballot Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ career with the Green Bay Packers has turned that notion on its head. Can you imagine being a Super Bowl Champion for one of the most iconic NFL franchises, a past recipient of the League’s MVP award, and an 8-time Pro Bowler, but still having critics doubt whether you can get the job done? Worse, imagine your own team being your biggest skeptic. That’s the life of a man who’s had to endure the cold winters on the frozen tundra of Green Bay’s Lambeau Field as well as the frigid support from Packers management.
