"Early in my career, we were very short-staffed one shift on short notice due to illness. Knowing that help would be hard to find, my first plan was to huddle our team and divide and conquer the initial work. Once completed, I called several teammates scheduled to be off and some other units in the hospital for much-needed coverage. I ended up finding one extra person, and they were a lifesaver for the rest of us. Since that day, I've learned to keep a calm and rational mindset when a bad problem arises on the job."
