Author, Brandon Jenkins writes about an idea coming alive. Image shows a smartwatch showing the wearer has met a goal.

This idea is coming alive for me lately.

The concept of “making it” or “arriving.”

𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗜’𝗹𝗹:

  • Stop challenging myself
  • Believe I don’t have any more to learn
  • Think that I have nothing more to accomplish

𝗪𝗵𝘆? 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗜 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲:

  • We can always learn and develop our abilities.
  • Our teams can always innovate new ways to execute.

𝗧𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝘀𝗼, 𝘄𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳…

  • Transparency
  • Not needing rewards for motivation
  • Freedom to try crazy things (with guardrails)

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.

What if the leader doesn’t embrace these ideas?

The rest of the team has a major uphill battle.

It’s a lifelong practice

The sooner you embrace the journey, the better.
