I have worked with so many fantastic people over the years. Team members. Clients. Partners. Alliances. What I do know is that human beings are complex and, at the same time, simple. We all need connection. We all need people who believe in us. We all need a sense of belonging and the certainty that our contributions are valued.

People make life interesting. When leaders can create environments that turn on collaboration, the result is more creativity, better communication, fewer mistakes, more emotional engagement, and agility.

People want to be a part of something they can be proud of regardless of their position or responsibilities. I have come to know that when you give people what they need, they play all in. Thank god for people!
