Relationships

At some stage in most of our lives we lose focus on the authentic reason for our existence, and begin to situate our efforts in to collecting stuff, chasing the next big promotion, or lining our walls with academic or athletic accolades. The reason for our continuation, though often times clouded is to generate and foster relationships.

Great leaders understand that escorting their family or team members toward the next great summit is not about barking orders, but about getting to know their teams specific needs, strengths, and passions. After a leader authentically establishes a relationship with their team they are able to effectively utilize the team to encounter and overcome their objective.

Do you really know your team members, clients, or family members? I would encourage you to invest in people by really listening to them. Give value to relationships.
