Leaders forget their people when they believe they are more important than the team. Humility and a high value for people is the antidote.
Leading with transparency and honest is what people value the most
Great leadership is about valuing people, building trust, and celebrating successes to build a thriving and motivated team.
The best leaders do what's best for their team.

Constructive feedback fuels growth. Focus on solutions to inspire your team to thrive. Andrea Petrone
