Inspiration and courage must come from every level of your business if you are to be successful.
Most of us have read dozens of articles about amazing leaders and superstar management teams that make all the difference. And I do completely agree that success without good leadership at the top is near impossible. But a recipe for personal failure is to expect all wisdom and guidance to come from on high. I continue to hear people ask for vision and inspiration from the top. And, yes, I agree this is critical. But it is important we remember just how inspirational we can be to each other. A group of smart people in a room thinking positively and acting on such positive thinking can go so far.
I often talk about leaders at all levels and encourage you to be the leader that drives the change you want to be. There are people out there that are looking to YOU to make them feel purpose, to make them want to stick it out and fight as hard as necessary to get things done. Yes, they will enjoy watching CEO videos, seeing values presentations, and the like, and they will get vision and inspiration from there. But YOU have the power to influence daily and I urge you to do so.
Be Well. Lead On.

Tackling the housing deficit in West Africa & giving the African diaspora better ways to invest in their home countries.
5 年Well said.??We have had some good success with our team on the ground in West Africa by encouraging leadership from all levels of the organization, and encouraging each team member to always think about how they can exhibit autonomy, mastery, purpose, and connection to the rest of the team - all while reducing rather than increasing stress for those around them.? Empowering everyone in the organization to see their own leadership potential works.
