I’ve been lucky to work with some truly special people over the years, and I always find myself asking: how much of their success was "born that way", how much was "nurtured", and how much was just "being in the right place at the right time"?
The truth is, it’s usually a mix of all three. But one thing I’ve seen again and again: without a heavy dose of nurture, the magic doesn’t happen.
That’s why your line really hit home: “With intentional coaching, autonomy, and opportunities to grow and stretch beyond their current roles, employees can unlock previously hidden potential and flourish—sometimes even becoming the very unicorns every company hopes to find.” Couldn’t agree more.
Love this Mike, and couldn't agree more....
Mazel Tov on your sons' new business!
I certainly am a very proud dad!
Great column today, Michael.
