Invest in People, Not Just Metrics #shorts

The work that people do, you want them to have meaning. So they show up. They're excited to show up to work. When you find work that is meaningful, rather than just something that you're doing to earn a paycheck, you're excited to show up. Second, if you are treated in a way that lift you up so you're valued, which is energy, you're valued, you're recognized, you're growing, that's energizing, right? That's what makes you show up and keep coming back. So energy. And then you talk about this notion that, listen, we are going to have obstacles. It's not that we're not going to have hardships, we're not going to have hard conversations, we're not going to have conflicts. But I don't have to hide it. I can actually have the support I need to be able to navigate it. Psychological safety and trust. I never have to watch my back. We can talk about making mistakes and we can learn from it and get input from others, but we don't have to. And then finally, getting the support, being really valued, getting the support to make sure I can operate with flexibility, autonomy in ways that really help me be at my best.
