Seek until you learn. Learn so that you may practice.Practice until you master. Master so that you may teach others. Teach until you have changed the world.

Always be hungry. Always be learning. This is what humility looks like. Grind through the practicing, grind while you’re producing at high levels, then give it all back, and build a legacy!

Resilience is essential to riding out the storms and overcoming the challenges of leadership. When others run or hide, leaders step up, endure, adapt, and overcome.

But how do cultivate this kind of resilience? Many of us equate resilience with being stubborn or willing ourself to hang on. But stubbornness too quickly leads to burn out or blow up.

Sustainable, calm, steadfast resiliency comes from being kind to yourself. No, not just letting yourself off the hook, but setting yourself down gently instead of beating yourself up when you fail, get tired, are indecisive, or overwhelmed. Self-compassion causes you to slow down, feed your souls, rest your body, and calm your mind so that you can refuel, refocus, and reengage.

So next time: listen to your body. Listen to the stress and strain and respond with compassion. Extend grace and kindness to yourself. Give yourself a minute to breathe. Practice self-compassion and you’ll be able to keep going with more clarity, strength, and wisdom.

Leadership must first be about connection, care, and relationship. People want to know they matter.

We only real trust people who are honest with us. Intentions and action must be in sync. When actions mask intentions, intended or not, trust erodes. Be certain of your intentions. Let those intentions direct your actions and words.

Accountability is key to success in every area. But it shouldn’t be just about punishment and finger pointing. It’s best achieved when it approached with helping others be their best.

Talking isn’t clarity. Ask questions, allow other to ask questions, especially hard questions, give people time to process and come back together to discuss. Confirm that everyone knows who will do what by when. Clarity is the difference between “good ideas” and achieving results.

Building anything requires personal and professional ambition. But ambition alone won’t create a legacy. Legacy is created through the humility to do what is right for those you serve and to build up others to take the torch.

I love seeing when companies have such clear, inspiring and impactful values and missions.

How can your company become more mission minded? If your company can’t/won’t, how can you become more mission-minded for your own core values?
