Mogul skiers keep their head and upper body locked on where they're going while their legs absorb every bump and twist in the terrain. That's the move for leaders too - maintain vision and focus while managing the chaos that tries to knock you off course. The moguls you're facing? Back-to-back meetings. Team members who need constant direction. Shifting priorities from leadership. Technical fires that pull you away from strategic work.
