Leadership Best Practices

As a leader who is developing a diverse team of leaders, I often find it challenging to know exactly what to say or do to keep the team motivated and on target. We have a compelling vision of growth and leadership in the home health industry, and my job is to ensure my team is up to the task. With that in mind, I spend countless hours scouring whatever information I can find that will help me grow as a leader.

Everyone needs to work on growth. No one has arrived. In order for me to have the company I envision, I have to remember this important principle. Anything that does not grow is dead or dying. I don’t want to die. Therefore, I use whatever personal time, energy, and money I need to use to become the leader my company needs to get us to the vision I see. If I can’t do that, I need to consider moving on to something else.

You are leaders in your company (regardless of your role), and you should have the same passion for personal growth and development. In order to ensure you are leading effectively, you need to ensure your leadership information is current. Spend time reading leadership materials by current industry leaders. The key is to be consistent in your pursuit of excellence. Never stop learning.
