Many years ago, I made a huge mistake, with someone who reported to me.
I never saw the value he brought to both the team and our business.
The “didn’t see” part came as a result of not looking, not because of an absence of value.
Truth be told, he was extremely valuable!
So one day he put in his notice, and two weeks later, he was gone.
And so was his value!
That’s when I realized that I let someone bring their value someplace else.
I wonder if we all could be a tad guilty of undervaluing the valuable relationships we have in our lives?
The people who report to us
Those we report to
The best supporting actors and actresses who help us look like stars with our clients
Our clients
Our mentors
Our family
Our friends
Our significant other
Valuing the valuable in the present is free;
Valuing the valuable in hindsight . . . comes with the high price of regret!
Peace!
