As a leader, someone on your team likely needs something from you at this moment. Your team consists of individuals at different stages. Some are new, some are seasoned veterans, and some are top performers. Think of them in three tiers:

  • Tier 1 is made up of high performers.
  • Tier 2 includes experienced team members.
  • Tier 3 consists of newcomers.

Each tier includes someone who could benefit from your support. How you add value will vary. It might be offering encouragement, providing coaching, helping them navigate a decision, or introducing them to a helpful resource. Remember, “Encouragement is oxygen for the soul.”

The key is to be intentional about investing in your team. Someone is waiting for you to step in and support them. As leaders, we should see ourselves as part of their supporting cast. They are the stars of their own journeys.

John Maxwell teaches that leadership is influence, and true leadership is about creating more leaders, not just followers. To scale and grow your organization, focus on developing those who can have the greatest impact.

Take a moment today and ask yourself: Who on your team needs you right now?
