All humans, especially those who lead, have the responsibility of understanding themselves—the how and why behind their behaviors. One of Gallup's biggest discoveries: the manager or team leader alone accounts for 70% of the variance in team engagement. We are motivated to propel people leaders toward possibility by having a much deeper connection to self, thereby amplifying what’s possible in others.
To become something new, we must believe something new. This requires work. This requires allies. And, often, this requires seeing ourselves, and our relationships to others, differently. When we choose to grow ourselves, not in isolation, but while leveraging the people around us, then we can achieve more than we ever imagined.
The way a hummingbird flies should be impossible. It flies upside down, sideways and backwards. Meanwhile, its flight pollinates its entire ecosystem, benefitting not only the hummingbird, but everything around it. This is what we believe it means to truly thrive in leadership—growing into our highest potential in a way that helps us soar, and everything around us to naturally flourish.
To others, the way a hummingbird flies may seem impossible. But the hummingbird can't imagine flying any other way.
