Deer in the headlight

Fight, Flight, Flop, Fawn, Faint, Friend are natural limbic responses to an unknown or traumatic or stressful stimulus. In literature, there is mention of another rarer response which is associated with a higher state of consciousness “unite”. Although it’s not an “F” word, the example of Mahatma Gandhi is cited frequently.

I’ve worked with many founders/entrepreneurs and their responses to pivotal stressful situations are varied. Those who survive and thrive are the ones who “Unite” the stressful situation with solutions and people.
