Accidentally Aligned: Pursuit of People, or the Benefits of the Relationship?

Are we pursuing the person, or just the benefits of the relationship? It's crucial to consider this question in our interactions. Focusing solely on the benefits a relationship brings can be tempting, but it's essential to prioritize the individuals themselves.

When we invest in people, we are willing to address uncomfortable truths and provide support, even if it challenges the relationship.

As leaders, recognizing when someone is pursuing us, not just the perks we offer, is vital. Sometimes, agreement doesn't signify an ally, but rather someone in need at a particular moment.

Today, reflect on those who challenge you out of care. How do these individuals impact your growth and development? Let's strive to enhance tomorrow by valuing meaningful connections today.
