#97 The Leadership One

Hello, friends.

Tomorrow is Memorial Day here in the U.S. If you’re fortunate to take some time off, please do — take the time off.

What I’m Learning/Doing

Everything really does come down to leadership. While this is no surprise, and something I’ve told myself a thousand times, it continues to prove itself across any business, sports team and organization I’ve been a part of.

It’s the number one thing we talk about at Calm. How can we help the leaders lead and help them create environments where people can thrive?

For me personally, I’m finding one of the best things I can do to serve my teams is to be available and present.

And that’s not always easy, but the more I make it a priority, the better things go.
