When it comes to football, my husband and I are in two distinctly different camps. He is the die-hard fan that attends games in minus 10-degree weather and shows up whether the team is winning big or deep in a losing streak. I, on the other hand, belong to camp “Fair Weather.” I attend games when it’s sunny and beautiful and during periods of winning.

A few years ago, I attended a preseason Chicago Bears game with my husband…and they won! However, even as a self-proclaimed fair-weather fan, the win was not what made me happy. It was the quick lesson in leadership that had my leaving the stadium feeling fulfilled.
