I passed the captain’s exam, but I wouldn’t take the final step. When asked why, I told the instructor I wasn’t ready. She seemed disappointed in me. Like I’d let her down. But I knew I wasn’t ready. And I believe knowing that, and putting the needs of my future crew first, was a greater sign of leadership than pride.
