Celebrating Small Wins with My Team! ?? Maintaining a healthy relationship with my team is essential, but it’s not always easy as a leader to make everyone happy. Every day is a learning experience, and today, we’re celebrating the small successes that bring us closer together and set the stage for our big achievements. These moments of recognition and celebration are crucial. They remind us of our collective strength and the power of collaboration. It’s through these shared experiences that we build a stronger, more motivated team, ready to tackle any challenge. Here’s to learning, growing, and celebrating every step of the way! ??

As my career progressed and teams grew, it became challenging to know everyone like I used to, which really bothered me. One of the practices I established many years ago is ensuring I get 1:1 time within the first few weeks of a new team member's arrival. It's a typical practice, I think. The only goal of the meeting is to connect with someone in some meaningful way for both of us. No platitudes. No corporate vision talk. I am insanely curious to discover something that allowed us a path to remember. I have one question that almost always guarantees we'll get there: "What is something about you that I might not learn about for another three years that you can share today?" The looks I get are alone worth the question. There is so much implied in that question. First, I see us still connected in three years. Second, there is so much about you we'll both learn and probably never stop learning about each other. Third, there is absolute room to bring "you" to work; in fact, we highly encourage you to do so. I am amazed at everything I have learned from my teammates that I likely would never have learned organically. And these have been a powerful bond.

It's easy for engineers and office staff to clash heads if they don't understand each other's tasks! That's why at the Crosbie Group, we systematically cross these roles so that the people in the office know what it's like to be in an engineer's shoes and vice versa. This has massively improved our team culture! By walking in each other's shoes, we've built stronger communication and a deeper appreciation for each other's work. The result? A more united team that's better equipped to tackle any challenge! ?? Phil Leonard | Wayne Crosbie #TeamCulture #CrossTraining

The image of the boat racing team perfectly illustrates the power of teamwork, where each member's effort contributes to achieving a common goal!

You know, something I always tell my team is that it’s not just about the tasks in front of us. There’s always a bigger picture. For example, when we’re working on a project, I’m not just looking at the deliverables—I’m seeing how this experience can help each person grow. I’m always trying to remind them, “This isn’t just about today’s work; it’s about where it can take you tomorrow.” I implement this daily at Reframes, and it’s incredible to watch our team evolve through every interactive meeting and challenging task. We design these experiences to push them beyond their comfort zones. And that’s when it happens—they start embracing the bigger vision and end up owning roles they never imagined they’d be ready for. ?? So personally, I think the step to creating a team of high achievers is to create an environment where everyone sees their own potential. When you start showing your team that bigger vision, they start to see it for themselves. And that’s what I call some real growth. ???

At Vermeer Corporation, we encourage team members to be lifelong learners and work to grow and develop as their career progresses. When I started here a few years ago, I was immediately encouraged to take the StrengthsFinder course. In that class, I discovered the natural strengths I can leverage in my career and life. Here are my top five strengths:

The most satisfying feeling in the world (ok, one of the most satisfying) is when your team reaches a new level of growth and independence. That first time you see they no longer need your support to perform a certain tasks, make a decision or introduce process improvement is incredibly rewarding for every manager. It means that the time and effort you spent showing, guiding, mentoring and encouraging was worth it. And, of course, that you have a great team! Now it's time to analyze which were the methods you used that were most impactful for helping the team reach this new level, and move on to fostering their next growth spurt.

Strategic Alignment and Team Connection in Whistler Twice a year, our management team gathers to ensure we stay on course with our brand promise:?Flight at its Finest?- to?map out the goals and strategic pillars needed to achieve our vision. But it’s not just about planning—it’s about connecting as a team. This year, we came together in Whistler, BC, where we not only strategized but also strengthened our bonds as a leadership team. Here's to the journey ahead, powered by teamwork, innovation, and a shared commitment to client excellence. “What do you value most in a private jet experience: speed, luxury, or service?"

Don’t follow your passion—follow your talent. A wise man once said that when choosing a career, it’s crucial to focus on what you’re good at. Passion can always remain a hobby. At first, this advice surprised me, but it made perfect sense. As a team lead, my day-to-day involves 1:1s, listening, guiding the team, and focusing on their well-being. I genuinely enjoy what I do, and it turns out I’m good at it (based my recent SPS results). However, my real passion lies in making a difference—finding creative solutions, turning ideas into reality, organizing events that bring joy, and communicating effectively. Fortunately, at MTS, I’ve been able to explore and expand those passions. SBOKL Inspira Awards - Safety Hero in the bag! What’s next? Only time will tell.
