"If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however, if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that." --Goethe
So often, we treat people as they are right now without regard for what they are capable of becoming. If we take the time to imagine a person's potential, that vision will guide us to developing them into so much more. I remember when I was young, I always wanted to compete with people that were better than me. By doing this, I pushed myself to improve and grow. When I competed with people that I knew I could beat, I didn't work as hard.
When we look at our employees, we need to see them for who they could be and then equip them with the skills to get there. If we are not continuously investing in their future, they will become stale and often disengaged. For some reason, people often imagine that their team will grow on their own, whether they are pushed and developed or not. While there are a few people that will seek out the resources to grow, they are not the norm.
A strong leader knows that building up their team is their main priority. A strong team knows that they must push each other beyond what the known limits are and see how far they, as a team, can excel. We are capable of more than we are demonstrating. We are capable of tremendous levels of success. We just need someone to see that in us and treat us as if...
My challenge to you today is to go out and find ways to push yourself and your team to higher levels of achievement.
To Your Success,
