More often than not, the attempt to get out in front of it is more impactful than actually succeeding.
A couple of volunteers had jumped from behind their tables when the line of people was building up too much. They grabbed their checklists and got in front of the crowd in order to spread folks out and move the line faster. It kind of worked. But what it really did was send a signal that these people care enough to get out in front of it. That emotional signal was enough to dampen the frustrations that were building with the line.
That’s about how it goes with most things. Taking the time (but more so the initiative) to get out in front of it has a positive ripple effect.
