Growing people is at the heart of what we do. For me, that means investing time—something that doesn’t always come easily when you’re wired to move fast. Yet I’ve learned that leadership isn’t about speed; it’s about consistency. Every day is a mission to help others grow.
Years ago, I heard a phrase that stuck: ‘Grow yourself by growing those around you.’ That’s the challenge I embrace daily. Some days are easier than others, but the responsibility never changes. As leaders, we carry the weight of helping people reach their potential. It’s not optional—it’s essential.
I often remind myself of John Maxwell’s words: ‘A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.’ That’s the standard. It requires patience, humility, and a willingness to show up even when it’s hard. Growth isn’t a one-time event; it’s a daily practice.
Our people are everything. If they succeed, we all succeed—our company, our clients, our partners. Growth isn’t just a value; it’s survival. It’s the foundation for happiness, progress, and purpose.
So, we grow. Daily.
