ARE YOUR PEOPLE BECOMING MORE OR LESS AS A RESULT OF YOUR LEADERSHIP?

This quote by John Quincy Adams is a powerful one. It raises the question for us leaders; are our people becoming more or less as a result of our leadership?

Dream More: Are we helping our people to dream more? Dreaming about what they could become. Dreaming about how bright their future could be. It's the leader's job to have a vision for the organisation, but to also help their people develop a vision for themselves.

Learn More: Are we helping them to develop skills, knowledge, competencies so they add value to our organisations? If people believe they are growing, it's more likely they will be engaged. It's the leader's job to provide opportunities for growth.

Do More: What is happening in your organisation that will lead to productivity and efficiency? It's the leader's job to put things in place so that people can achieve more. Individuals can do more, but the collective effort means that the organisation is better off.
Become More: As a result of your leadership, have people become more? Leadership is about making a difference. It's about growing people. Are your people better than when you found them?

True leadership is about focusing on helping people to become more. Are you doing enough to help your people become more?
