If you want someone to be more valuable, treat them like they are more valuable. 

Treat others according to their potential and that is what they will become. 

Treat them as they are, and they might regress. Treat them as they could be and they will grow. 

Everyday we find out who we can trust based on who shows up. 

While some folks think they are being nice, other folks are. 

While some people want to help, other people do. 

Be the other. 

 

The best strategy always maximizes your most advantageous talents. 

Some people ask for what they want, they often get it.

Some people don’t ask for what they want, they never get it. 

Complaints are negative emotions being voiced. 

Facts can be positive or negative, but are logical and look at the situation. 

Complaints bring in the emotional side to the facts. 

Take out the emotion, and looking at the facts can help us plan our next steps. 

Bring back the emotions and we get  mentally clouded and stuck in our feelings and then we make bad decisions. 

If you show that you care about people, they will want to be around you. Showing is not telling (though it might include that)… showing is proving with intent, actions, and heart. Showing is felt, not heard or seen. 

As we connect with others, especially those we want to help, we stop being superior and start to remember how similar we actually are. 

Everyone needs and wants to grow. The job of a leader is help others grow.

To grow, you need to know what to do and what not to do. 

To grow, you need the space and freedom to explore, learn, and fail. 

The job of leader is to be a farmer, a teacher, and a protector. 

Speaking truth without compassion is selfishness.
