Respect Multiple Perspectives

“One the biggest things I’ve learned is it’s okay not to have all the answers. Early in my career, I thought I had to have the solution to every single problem or challenge leaders face. I’ve begun to see leadership and coaching more as helping people find the right answer for them, which has helped me let go of the sense that there is one right way and increased my openness to thinking about multiple paths to the outcome or the solution that people are working toward.”
