Fishing over the weekend with my girls taught me a lesson. I had to step back and let them try things on their own. As they cast and reeled in without my help, it felt strange not to be needed. But I knew they had to learn to do things by themselves. I needed to get out of the way. This is like running a business. You have to let people make mistakes and learn on their own. It helps them grow and strengthens our team. Learning and trying new things can be messy, but it’s important for getting better and stronger. If you always control your kids or your team, they won’t learn to think for themselves. They might get scared of trying new things or making decisions. This can stop them from growing and getting better. Even though it’s hard to let go, it’s important to let kids and team members try, fail, and learn. Failure isn’t bad; it’s just another step to getting better. Let your team fail. Let your kids fail. It’s how they grow and succeed in the end. #Independence #LeadershipDevelopment #Empowerment
Love this! It's so true - letting people figure things out on their own is how they grow, both in life and at work. It's tough to step back sometimes, but it makes such a difference. Thanks for the inspiring reminder about the power of letting go!
Great message, Samuel! I completely agree. It's a hard an necessary part of parenting.
Great thoughts Sam. So true. Appreciate you sharing!
