City Axis Leadership

A good friend of mine always said that people are always tuned into WIFM. What's in it for me. It's natural to always assess how changes or new information will impact my life. It's unhealthy in an organization when you subtly or overtly begin to protect your turf, your department, your role against changes that you don't like agree with or that will create more work. At those times we need to step back and see the whole picture, the goals of the whole organization or team. I have found it valuable to work with teams in various activities/exercises and then followup up on team goals and company visions.

It is an awesome privilege to work with good people and to serve as a leader or "the" leader. With this privilege comes responsibility. To quote Warren Buffet who quotes the Bible. "To whom much is given, much is required". People are not a commodity to be managed. They are a human being who deserves our best leadership and our utmost respect. How we treat people who we serve, is a indicator of how we actually see people and a reflection of how we really see ourselves. ...We need wholeness at all levels of our organization, but it is critical in the leaders/owners life. It is possible to sabotage the success of your whole team/company by not addressing the brokenness in our own life. "Hurt people hurt people. Wounded people wound people. Broken people break people. Bound people bind people. Damaged people damage people." - Christine Cain If you have courage, ask some of the leaders around you for their candor, "how do I treat people? How do I make you feel?

We spend inordinate amounts of time and resources finding the right people for the team. Onboarding them to the team and empowering and releasing them are also critical steps going forward. https://goo.gl/wnFUh7
