When life throws you a curveball—a setback at work, a job loss, or a painful event in your personal life—how do you react?
If you use the experience as an opportunity to get smarter, stronger, and better prepared for your next move, you may already be what co-authors Ama Marston and Stephanie Marston call a “Type R”: someone skilled at using tough times as a catalyst for growth.

What are your main responsibilities?
As a custodial team leader (CTL) I delegate work duties for the day. I also check the call out line to see if anyone has called out and their reason for calling out. I send my supervisor an email and notify her of coverage for the day as well as speaking to her verbally for the plan for the day to check for changes. I also check emails from customers to see if there’s anything they want me to get done. After the morning activities, I return to my work area.
