Two Ways To Elevate

Elevating Others

A number of years back I had someone tell me not to stand above or look down upon others unless I was reaching a hand out to help them up to my level.

That has always stuck with me and led me down the path to discovering two types of people in the workplace and the world.

There are those who push you and expect everything from you. They’re the ones who can seem like hard asses and a bit condescending.

No doubt, we need these people and they’re talented at getting others to be their best versions.

Then there are those who are merely there to help, to lend a hand, to be generous with their time and knowledge and care. They’re the ones who can seem like they are the only ones there who really care that you grow and succeed, and they lead with empathy.

Both types of people can elevate you. It’s worth recognizing which you’re working with, and even more important to recognize which you work best with.

 

Stay Positive & Then Seek More Of Them Out
