More often than not in todays complex world, our performance and outcomes depend on relationships. Which makes them well worth investing in. Regular deposits, small and often, pay off in building connection, trust and goodwill.

As leaders, arguably no other relationships need our attention more than those of our team, who enable our vision and performance. This is another great read from HBR with some clear, tangible actions to invest in people and your future.

What are you doing today to invest in the relationships that will support your future success?

Making employees feel valued and recognized lifts team performance, but often managers don't understand what it takes.

A Leadership Challenge for us all today - What have you done to earn your Leadership today?

It is critical to remember that being a Leader is a privilege that requires work every day to get better....as Leaders we owe that to our people to EARN that privilege every day.

While a broad range of views can be had on Michael as a Leader, one thing is not in dispute...he worked hard each and every day to earn his role as a Leader.

Leadership is a series of ongoing challenges to execute, perform and grow.

Getting into a Leadership is the first challenge, the bigger one is to re-earn that right on a daily basis.

A good way I find that the CEO's I work with reflect on this is...."If someone watched me developing and performing as a Leader yesterday, would they be excited to select me for the role today?"

In short, did I earn my role as a Leader yesterday to justify my privilege of being the selected Leader today?

This mindset means that we see our Leadership as a never ending daily development opportunity on our path towards being a great leader.

This is a great challenge to yourself and your leaders to develop a truely best practice Leadership culture.

So the key question that you can ask yourself today is am I earning my Leadership today so that I deserve that privilege tomorrow?

Have a great day all and I hope this Leadership mindset tip is a good 2 minute opportunity to reflect on your Leadership today.
