Very easy to forget, very important to remember! Knowing your worth is the single most powerful tool in the corporate world ✔️

What is the true role of a Manager? We often believe that as Managers, we just need to get the job done. And hopefully, get it done as effectively and as efficiently as possible. But is that all? And if yes, then how are we growing in the process? Let's ask ourselves - When our team members grow, do we feel a sense of pride? Does it fill us with a sense of fulfillment that can only come by contributing to the success of another? As Managers or Team Leaders, we will grow in direct proportion to the growth of our team. In the myopic race to achieve and show results, we tend to forget one very important aspect of our managerial responsibilities - to create an environment conducive to growth, to create opportunities for growth, to extend respect (NOT just polite or civil behaviour) but to extend actual respect to our teams, motivate and encourage, and finally offer constructive feedback and appreciation. Appreciation that is louder than our criticism, appreciation that is heartfelt, appreciation that creates more growth. The role of a Manager may have more similarities with the role of a teacher, than we understand or accept. And if we feel, why should we invest so much in the absence of long-term returns (most of our team members will branch out and carve their own path) then just remember: It is never about them and what they offer. It is and will always be about how much we can invest ourselves in the process of raising a team. The GREATEST SUCCESS OR FAILURE OF A MANAGER LIES IN THE GROWTH OR FAILURE OF HER/HIS TEAM. #Management #Startups #Dialogue

How it should be.

When we think of our top 10 priorities what are they? Surely, if we were being specific we could put a fine point on it. Not the kind of stuff we don't refer to, consider or apply. Rather, based on our best selves in our favourite workplace working with our most beloved team. I'd say mine were 1. Our shared vision of the best contribution we could make to the world. 2. Our shared wisdom, abilities, skills, best represented in our shared work. 3. Changing history with every project. And being able to explain how and why at the drop of a hat. Why? It was automatic and presumed. 4. Being the greatness you need. If there is any delay, hesitation or doubt? You aren't there yet. 5. Finding and rediscovering myself in the work and the work in me in an endless oscillation. 6. Seeing myself give so much of myself I learned how much a human could give at all. 7. Working so hard that others' efforts could only ever be distracting in a lazziness-inducing way. 8. Updating processes and thought patterns daily to improve how I could improve. 9. Avoiding anything that wasn't progress according to the shared understanding of what progress looked like that day. 10. Never giving a second thought to anything that wasn't helpful somehow. And so. When I meet anyone remotely interested in the internal politics of a company? Yes, we can see you from the way you walk, talk, stand, act, go to the communal kitchen - to how you discuss meetings, coworkers and all social occasions. I barely know what creature I'm looking at. Usually, I just find an excuse to leave the room as soon as possible before I vomit. How about you? How do you handle these types? That's a rhetorical question.

The difference in corporate culture is enormous.

Totally Agree. You cant be the problem if the culture is toxic from the top. When you move and are quite happy in a new job but your old company still faces backlash from ex-employees and the attrition rates are quite high, then it's a problem with the top leadership. #leadership #culture

As entrepreneurs or project creators/managers we often only remember the strategy because that is what is in our head for so long before the execution and even after. The final product (execution) is what will be lasting component and what the customer (or we ourselves depending on what the project/business is) will remember.

This mindset can lead to a more enriched, dynamic, and adaptable life.
