Who Needs Encouragement?

I heard on a podcast recently that the founder of Chick-fila, S. Truett Cathy, once asked a friend, “who needs encouragement?” and then after a moment responded, “every human being that is breathing.”

At times as leaders we are trained to look for the bad and correct it. What if instead we trained ourselves to look for the good and praise it?

How do you think this shift in mentality might benefit your business? How do you think it might impact your ability to lead?

Those you work with and interact with need encouragement; we all do!

This week let’s look for opportunities to praise rather than correct, to encourage rather than pull down or simply ignore, to lead rather than manage.

Those who work for you will appreciate it. And your business will be better because of it!
