Success Thought of The Day

If you plan to get yourself a gift this holiday season, invest in the discovery of what work you are best suited for. That is a gift that will keep on giving.

All kidding aside, we know that teams harness incredible power when they operate in harmony.  One of your primary roles as a leader is to nurture the environment, ensuring that the team matures in the use of that power.  To that end, be swift and decisive in dealing with matters that would undermine the team.

Two tips in that regard:
1) Regularly create space for dialogue, collaboration, and alignment.
2) Do not allow room for negative or disconnected overtones of “we” and “they” inside of the organization, all sub-teams must be a part of the big team.

Just imagine what is possible if we all do that something that we can do.
