It is business

Yes, it is, but business doesn’t have to be only about business. You spend so much time with your team. Almost the most significant chunk of your daily energy goes into exchanging with your team. Don’t you want to invest just a little bit more, to be enriched by a lot more?

At work, we have the opportunity to grow both professionally and personally. Professional growth comes by doing things, and personal growth comes by listening, interacting, and taking & giving feedback. We grow together with others like a tree grows together within the forest. It is never a competition about which tree is taller. All the roots feed each other.

A significant growth opportunity lies in being sensitive to the needs of others and being there for your team, colleagues, and boss – when it matters. Sometimes you can help, sometimes you can listen. But just the act of offering your assistance makes it already more than business.

« If you fall, I’ll pick you up; if not, I will lay down with you. »

Julio Cortazar
