3. Cultivating Integrity
What happens when doing the right thing isn’t the team’s favorite?
Keep in mind that no matter how talented, educated, or how high your position is, being a person of your words, and responding respectfully in adversity will always lead to real growth for the team.
Stick to your words and be honest, even if it takes extra effort! Your team and your project will love you more for this!
4. But What If I Fail?
It is natural for us to want to stay ahead and maintain a perfect score. But what happens when we let others down? Too much pride and self empowerment can get the best of us. Remember, we are human.
Try this mindset shift : Accept your failures as seeds of growth. Lean on your team for motivation and encouragement.
REMEMBER
T.E.A.M. = Together Everyone Achieves More.
