Are They ‘In It Together?’

‘Everybody in your team needs to feel that they are ‘in it together’.- Ian Durston

If you want your people to perform really well, if you want them to give you what you want from them, they must feel that they are ‘in it together.’

If they don’t feel valued, respected, loved, they are not going to give you what you want from them.

The Best Way To Handle Mistakes

You can’t avoid making mistakes. When you make mistakes, embrace them as opportunities to learn more about yourself, to learn more about your strengths, to learn more about your weaknesses, and to learn more about the world around you.

When you make mistakes, the best way to manage them, according to Ian Durston, ‘Own up to your mistakes, and forgive others theirs.’

When you make a mistake, instead of blaming other people for your own mess, it pays to just accept it, learn from it, and move on.
