Advancing Others

One thing I tell those I lead:

“If I am not training you to do my job, I am failing as a leader.”

As servants to others, it is our duty to make sure they have a clear path for advancement. 

As managers, we should take pride in making sure the people we lead are growing as individuals.

As individuals responsible for others, our sole responsibility is to be as empathetic to others as we would want for us.

“The true price of leadership is the willingness to place the needs of others above your own.”

– Simon Sinek

Invest in Others, Enjoy the Returns

One way we can do this is by providing them with opportunities for growth and development. This can include providing training and resources, mentorship, and offering/asking for feedback. When we invest in the success of others, it benefits the entire organization. Our team members are better equipped to handle the challenges we present and can take on new responsibilities in order to reach their full potential.

Create Safe Spaces

In addition, it's important to create a positive and supportive work environment. Encouraging open communication, recognizing achievements, and promoting a sense of teamwork can all help to foster a culture of growth and development.


Ultimately, our goal as leaders should be to enlighten others in order to reach their full potential. By doing so, we not only help them to advance in their careers, but we also help to build a strong and successful organization. So, let's remember to prioritize the growth and development of those we lead and, in doing so, help to foster an environment of advancement.
