An Empowered and Trusted Team can Achieve Anything

I once knew a senior executive that everyone was terrified of.


Her reputation preceded her in the office.


I am sure many of you have worked with such a person.


However, one day she became MY manager, and I was quite fearful of what I was getting into.


But what I got was one of the most fiercely supportive bosses I've ever had.


She trusted my ability to complete my responsibility and would defend and uplift me, no questions asked.


I can't describe how affirming and inspiring it is to have that kind of trust and support in the workplace, but I do remember feeling deeply empowered knowing she had my back.


It changed the way I approached leadership and the way I coach leaders to support their teams.


An empowered and trusted team can achieve anything


And it's not to say you can't critique your team to help them learn and grow; it's just they need to feel that at the end of the day, their well-being and their development are your priority.
