What Does It Take to Grow?
by Miki Saxon
Bosses are pretty vocal in describing what they want from their teams, but what do bosses owe their teams in return?
Entire books have been written to answer that question, but the words of E.E. Cummings offer a more succinct response.
“It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are…”
Bosses owe their people an environment that fosters the courage and provides the room to grow.
And they owe them that even when what they become doesn’t fit the boss’ future needs.
