What is your company’s true staying power?

In an ever-evolving world where most struggle to fit in, we as individuals must remember that fitting in is not always the best way to a successful pathway… especially in the business world.

Whilst it may be simple to follow the crowd and attempt to replicate what those around you are doing, we believe great leaders should concentrate on their distinctive attributes and create a safe space for people to be their genuine selves. This can only be achieved if leaders embrace diversity, at all levels.

It is challenging to succeed on your own unless you are wealthy or have a prominent family name; we all need allies, mentors and coaches who will support and encourage us, and only genuine connections can make this possible. Authentic relationships are anchored on common values, shared visions, respect, trust, and often present worthwhile chances for creating mutually shared value that might not have been possible if authentic, genuine relationships were formed beforehand.   

Additionally, being genuine can influence others to perceive you as more approachable, empathic, and reliable, which is advantageous for your company’s growth, your personal brand, and your career advancement. Being genuine and passionate will allow you to naturally gravitate toward opportunities and relationships with individuals who have the same shared interests. Challenges and hurdles will not stop you from achieving your goals, on the contrary, your authentic self will be a north star in all decisions you make in your business and personal life. 

By discovering who you truly are, you will develop a greater sense of self-awareness, your true passions as well as your strengths, weaknesses, capabilities, and limitations. This requires all of us to remove our cognitive biases and look at things with a radically open mind.  This, of course, requires in-depth analysis, self-reflection, and paying detailed attention to your inner moral compass…but it will all be well worth it. In the long run, a business or company’s true staying power is what they stand for and what they believe…so it’s time we as leaders stand for something and inspire others to do the same.
