Change is never far away. A staff member leaves. A new initiative starts. Roles evolve. Seasons shift. And it can leave us feeling off-balance.
As George Bernard Shaw wrote,
“Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.”
That perspective is a helpful reminder: change isn’t just a disruption. It’s often the doorway to growth.
…But the reality is that growing as a leader—developing new habits, adopting best practices, building emotional intelligence—is not the same as trying to copy someone else’s personality or leadership style.
…character is a quality that can be measured just like height, weight, and speed.
Life has a way of throwing challenges at us when we least expect them.
I spoke on resilience at a recent annual symposium for financial planners, and was reminded of this truth. Resilience is a topic that I wasn’t speaking on at all four years ago, and now it is requested by audiences more and more (as it was here).
As team members, it’s critical to the team’s performance that we excel in our given role, even if it isn’t the largest or most glamorous role.
