Let’s be leaders who speak not only words that are true and honest but also words that build trust, because the future depends on it—not only the future generations but also the future workforces, workplaces, and work cultures.
Lean into conflict for the sake of the other person, for the sake of your own growth and, if nothing else, for the sake of the future leader the world needs you to be.
Vulnerability is a muscle to be exercised. The more you do it, the stronger you’ll be. Sometimes it will feel too scary and too exposing. But press on! The world needs you—imperfect, honest, willful, and humble.
When a leader is adept at recognizing success—even in the smallest ways—and then points it out and gives credit where credit is due, that creates a culture of affirmation and confidence, and breeds more success.
