More Than a Boss
In recent days, a diverse group of ages, race and gender on our team have expressed concerns and fears over the events taking place in our nation. As a leader, when we are faced with difficult conversations and varying opinions, it can be difficult to navigate those waters. However, I believe we have a responsibility to listen and offer advice when appropriate. Being a boss is not simply telling people what to do but more importantly it is leading in a way to bring the best out in each individual.
Our leadership shines when we place value on people and lift them up, especially when they may be suffering from prejudices or injustices. While our opinions and answers may vary as to solutions, I believe we can agree that positive change starts with each of our individual interactions with employees, friends and strangers by treating them better than we expect to be treated.
Regards,
Brian
