When it comes to talent-Education needs to be both shared and sought. I am always trying to better myself through education. Reading books, blogs, talking with other creative/smart people, etc. I expect and encourage that same behavior from other members of the team. We need to always work to set goals, share those goals and adapt to the changes around us. I hold others accountable and work to improve their “game” as well as mine. It is important to regularly meet with staff so that silos are not created in regards to goals and agenda. As a coach, I feel it is critical that I am spending time to mentor staff members as well as people outside of the building. Creating a network of talent and giving back to the community of your profession; while helping to cultivate the minds of our future managers, is essential to the growth of the industry.
