Superior performance is rarely achieved through relentless force and pushing. Great leaders learn to strike a balance between motivational challenging and patience
Leaders CHALLENGE by:
- Expecting great results and holding people accountable.
- Practicing continuous learning themselves followed by wise application of concepts.
- Maintaining key disciplines such as meeting rhythms and priority-setting.
- Driving resource alignment around strategic priorities.
Leaders demonstrate PATIENCE by:
- Knowing change does not happen overnight.
- Spending years developing an effective, healthy leadership team.
- Understanding there is a limit to how much a person can take on and absorb (stretch) at any point in time.
- Repeating themselves…without showing frustration.
“Patience is the companion of wisdom.” –Saint Augustine
