‘Employees want their work to be about more than a paycheck. Companies that articulate a clear purpose ensure that employees find meaning in what they do.’

‘Community is more important to employees than ever. Fostering a sense of belonging can motivate team members to elevate their performance and dedication to the company’s mission.’

‘Growth is the pursuit of improvement and progress that’s core to the human experience.’ Purpose is knowing that what you’re working on matters- that you’re making that dent in the universe and that the work you do is felt and improves the lives of other people. And community is that sense of belonging and that fundamental need to be part of a group working toward the same purpose and progress. … Culture is the vehicle we use to deliver these pillars of a successful, meaningful business.’

‘Values are an aspirational code that companies build their culture around. Values have the power to shape the employee experience and your employer brand.’

‘Performance feedback should not come as a surprise – it should be consistent, continuous, and free-flowing.’

‘There will always be room for improvement- developing a clear, measurable plan of action, and communicating that to employees is essential to troubleshooting.’

‘Growth plans enable employees to progress personally in their career, both within and outside of their particular responsibilities for the company.’

‘Growth for employees can ensure growth for your business. If your people feel like you’re investing in them, they’ll invest double in your success.’

‘Goals make an excellent foundation for setting expectations, giving feedback, and measuring performance.’

‘A healthy feedback culture involves routine communication, employee-driven one-on-one meetings, and performance reviews.’

‘Leaders achieve their results through the results of others.’

Strong leaders know who they are. They get better by challenging themselves.

They pay attention to what they are doing, how they are leading their people, and where they are going.

They get better every day. They get better by putting themselves out there.

So if you want to improve yourself, then you must get out of your comfort zone.

‘Trust is the new currency of work.’

According to Alain Hunkins, ‘Self-awareness is the skill that enables you to transform unconscious incompetence or competence into conscious competence.’

‘You cannot become excellent at anything if you’re oblivious as to why and how you do it.’

‘Leaders who are committed to developing themselves keep putting themselves in situations outside of their comfort zone.’

‘No longer are employees seen as mindless worker bees. Now, leaders need to be more involved and nurture and develop the whole person that comes attached to the pair of hands.’

‘Leading through fear and threats suffocates good decision-making and keeps teams mired in mediocrity.’

‘For sustainable success in the long term, trust is a must.’

‘Working together is what allowed small tribes of our paleolithic ancestors to survive and ultimately thrive.’

‘Commitment is built from the ground up, one relationship at a time.’

‘Empathic leaders pick up on cues that tip the balance of insight in their favor.’

‘The choices we make are only as good as the knowledge we have when we make them.’
