Bring Out Their Best
Mar 09, 2026
"True Joy comes when you inspire, encourage, and guide someone else on a path that benefits him or her."
Many organizations fail to tap into their potential. Why? Because the only reward they give to their people is a paycheck. The relationship between employee and employer never develops beyond that point. Successful organizations not only compensate well, but nurture the people who work for them.
In his devotional, "Leadership Promises for Every Day," John Maxwell uses the BEST acronym as a reminder of what people need when they start with his organization...and I believe every organization. They need the leader to:
1. Believe in them
2. Encourage them
3. Share with them
4. Trust them
Nurturing benefits everyone. What people wouldn't be more secure and motivated when their leader does the above things. People are more productive when they are nurtured because it creates a strong emotional and professional foundation within those that have leadership potential. Later, using training and development, a leader can be built on that foundation.
If you’d like to intentionally develop leaders within your organization, I’d love to help. My Developing Leaders Around You workshop equips leaders with practical ways to believe in, encourage, share with, and trust the people around them so leadership grows at every level.
If this sounds like something your team could benefit from, simply reply to this email and we can start the conversation.
Be your BEST!
