Last month we touched on leadership that can be both successful and vulnerable. The ability to be open and real with your people clearly is a catalyst for engagement, empowerment and more productive, successful teams and organizations. This ability comes to those who are able to push ego to the side and leave judgment at the door. Be hungry for knowledge and ready to be pleasantly surprised by the many life experiences and teachers (people, relationships) that come across your path. You can’t do that if you’ve already made up your mind!

We are all different and come with different gifts. Look deeper and without the systemic programming clouded lens that only productive, professional, financially successful, etc. folks are the ones that matter. What can we benefit by looking past the things that divide us and instead embrace the knowledge, intuition and wisdom inherit to the young, old, poor, smart, silly person, etc.? I say pick up all the nuggets along the way in the effort of making yourself as well rounded and grounded as possible. Lean on others and take comfort in the fact that it takes a team and a village to grow something bigger and richer than what is. By doing all of the above, we make tremendous impact.

We all have a lot to learn and to quote Michael Franti & Spearhead in this vibrant song that reminds us to embrace just that - “It seems that everywhere I go, the more I see, the less I know.”

Enjoy, shake a leg, and hit us up if there’s anything we can do for you!
