Stay Grateful
Gratitude isn’t soft. It’s strong. And it may be one of the most underutilized tools we have in leadership today.
And at the end of the day, it changes how we see the world.
Gratitude isn’t soft. It’s strong. And it may be one of the most underutilized tools we have in leadership today.
And at the end of the day, it changes how we see the world.
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.
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.
My pulse quickens each year at this time as NFL teams report to Training Camp, remembering hot, bright days in Jacksonville and Tampa as our Jaguars and Buccaneers players arrived and we started another season full of hope.
