GREAT LEADERS DON'T SET OUT TO BE A LEADER...THEY SET OUT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. ITS NEVER ABOUT THE ROLE-ALWAYS ABOUT THE GOAL. 💯

A great leader at work makes all the difference. They see your strengths and help you harness them for success, while also spotting areas for growth and guiding you to improve. Their support and insight push you to be your best, creating an environment where you feel motivated and inspired to reach new heights. It’s that balance of encouragement and constructive feedback that makes leadership so impactful.

Just wrapped up an inspiring annual retreat with my colleagues in EMEA, and one statement really stood out to me: 💬 “The standard you walk past is the standard you accept” This powerful reminder hit home. In our work and leadership, we can’t afford to overlook behaviours, practices, or results that fall short of our shared values and goals. Every time we choose to look the other way, we allow a lower standard to take root— and that’s not the path to progress (personal nor professional). Whether it’s addressing gaps in accountability, inclusivity, or performance, we must consistently raise the bar and hold ourselves and our teams to the these standards. After all, it’s through this constant and continuous commitment that we drive true impact and change 💡 Looking forward to putting this mindset into action in our ongoing work! #TeamCulture #LeadByExample #ExcellenceInAction

The importance of having a manager care about the things you care about is so important to culture and engagement. As I was approaching the starting line of my half marathon today, I got a good luck message from my boss. It’s the simple small gestures that make the biggest difference! #engagement #culture #leadership

Simply being in leadership doesn’t qualify you for the job. Be the person your organization and team needs you to be: Their leader. Celebrate the wins. EVERY SINGLE DAY (and my team probably laughs when they see me typing in chat knowing darn well what I’m about to say)… “Shout out those WINS”! Not only does this foster the appreciation of the success, but also the team recognition and kudos that comes along with it. Does it also encourage others to want that very same feeling? Of course it does! It’s easy to focus on the negative and the task and to be a manager. Choose to be a leader and empower your staff and watch the difference it makes ❤️
