Life Lessons: 3 key lessons to appreciate your team
Life Lessons: 3 key lessons to appreciate your team
Much has been said about Theresa May over the weekend by people more eloquent than myself. My observation is that she is having to learn some hard life lessons in a very public manner about the value of working as a team. No matter what your political views may be, Theresa needs our compassion as she learns these lessons.
In the middle of leading a large change programme, I was unexpectedly widowed and survived that period in my life through acts of kindness at work and at home. Over night my whole value base shifted to fully recognise the importance of people. This was not just for my husband, who sadly I had lost, but also for the value the other people in my life brought. These are the values I believe we need for innovative, creative leadership to be successful. They are ones Theresa May is having to learn very publicly – the value of a team working together, the different individual contributions team members can make and learning to listen to people.
