“Ever since high school, I have heard the phrase, “you have so much potential,” which I have viewed as a thinly disguised way of the deliverer telling me I’m not working hard enough. These podcasts, particularly the one with Bryan Howard, CEO of Mercury Performance Group, are helping me understand that it’s less about working hard (although that’s still important) and more about finding the right alignment with values, goals, and perspective.
Specifically, the inchworm concept that Bryan described out resonated with me because I realized I may have been ahead of the curve at one point in my career but my leaders were uncomfortable with my methods and suppressed them—and therefore me. (Spoiler alert—I no longer work for them.) Through Bryan’s description, I had an aha moment that I now have the privilege of leading at least one inchworm right now and that requires a different leadership approach than someone who may still be developing their skills. I owe it to these talented team members to do better than my previous leaders and be open to their ideas, then support and advocate for them as they change the organization for the better.
Thank you for your perspective and vision through these podcasts, and keep bringing the terrific content!”
