For years, my output, my tasks, and my reputation came first – cloaked in the virtue that “this is what it takes to build a company” or “this is the sacrifice that leaders need to make.”
What I especially appreciated about this post is not the thoughtful suggestion of how to be more mindful around showing up for people that matter -- but that this piece also acknowledges that to attain certain kinds of success actually does also require a level of attention that exceeds the status quo. Pretending it doesn't, or that it's easy is a hollow exercise. Finding the comfortable balance for yourself and your people -- always aiming to improve but understanding what is and isn't going to be achievable and layering honest communication with yourself and the other people in your circle... that's the work. Thank you, Greg for seeing both sides of the equation.
This is an amazing piece—not just the theme, but the way you wove it together with brief examples and suggestions. Thank you!
Thoughtful and inspiring post. I was just thinking about my circle today and how I can do more to show up and be a better listener with my partner.
I love it. Thanks for another vulnerability exercise.
I wish you to have many circles taking care of you ❤️
