Ten days ago I planted some paper white bulbs. One morning I came downstairs and their green shoots were sprouting upward. I had been watering them and opening the blinds daily to give them light.
It has been a thrill to see them grow daily. Soon they will bloom with pretty white fragrant flowers.
As leaders we grow our people. It is up to us to find out and create the environment that will support them. Do people need more encouragement, training, accountability or fun? If you don’t know, ask them.
It is our role to water them and provide light so they can bloom. The grass isn’t greener on the other side. It is green where you water it.
In this busy holiday time I encourage you to also take time to water and nurture yourself so you may continue to grow.
