It cut me like a knife. My intentions were good, and my effort was relentless—but I was hyper-focused on managing the business and pushed people too hard. I was inadvertently treating my team as a means to an end rather than the greatest asset to achieve it. That kind of leadership drives short-term results but comes with long-term costs—to people, culture, and impact.
I realized the secret to leadership isn’t focusing more on outcomes—it’s investing in the people who drive them. When I made that shift, my team became more engaged, more cohesive, and consistently performed at a higher level.
That was the turning point when I learned:
