"Leaders need to both give a lot and expect a lot .” Most leaders know they have some role in cultivating the talents and ambitions of those they lead. But if you followed them around in an average day to see how much time they spend actually doing it, what you would see belies whether they believe it’s a core part of their leadership. People who’ve been managing others for a while think they’re already “investing” in their people because they buy pizza once a month or approve funds for a training program. But deep investment means that “you are personally spending ample time ensuring people are learning, growing, and thriving. You have a high bar for performance expectations, and you are personally helping people reach it. Every. Single. Day.”
