Steve Kerr once said, “The difference between Michael Jordan and Tim Duncan is that you always felt like you were playing with Tim and sometimes you felt like you were playing for Michael.” Now, Timmy wasn't perfect, and Michael certainly had some good leadership qualities- focus and determination being a couple of them. But the quote highlights a powerful truth about leadership: it’s not just about the results—it’s also about how the journey toward achieving those goals feels for the team. The best leaders create environments where people feel like they are contributing to something bigger, and they can see the impact of their contribution. They: - Build trust through open and honest communication. - See the value in constructive debates to navigate challenges. - Create a culture that encourage mutual accountability and continuous growth. When teams feel that their team leader is in it with them, they bring their best ideas, energy, and effort. Success becomes a shared victory, and challenges become opportunities to grow together. Leadership isn’t just about the results you deliver—it’s also about how you make people feel while striving for those results. After all, if the journey is miserable are the results alone worth it?

I loved reflecting on this insightful post today. Leadership, as highlighted, boils down to two vital components: caring for your team members and their contributions, and striving for collective success. Trust, a cornerstone of leadership, is nurtured through genuine care and a shared belief in team triumph. Passion for both is key. Dell Technologies

If it’s good enough for Lewis Hamilton it’s good enough for you. In F1, Lewis Hamilton has a team of 30+ people in his corner during every race. Engineers, strategists, and performance coaches making split-second decisions together, before and during a race. Yet in business, we often feel like asking for support is somehow a sign of weakness. The strongest leaders aren't the ones who have all the answers. They're the ones who know who and when to call for support. They're the ones who understand that real-time support, exactly when you need it, isn't a crutch or a sign of failure - it's a competitive advantage. Leadership isn't about doing it alone, It's about building and leveraging the right support when you need it most. Who do you call on when you need support?

Its been a busy week with QBR visits to clients and catching up on how Hubspot has been hit by a big loss in organic visibility. The one thing that has come through is that traffic/sessions isn't that good of a KPI for Hubspot and that KPI alone does not tell the whole story. We have seen some amazing results for our clients and the clear picture for us at least is that revenue is growing through the advice and insights we are able to implement.

True leadership is exemplified by knowing when to pass the torch, as seen in Rohit Sharma's decision to step down. It requires immense courage and self-awareness to recognize when it's time to create space for new ideas and fresh energy. By stepping aside, Rohit showcases not only humility but also a profound sense of responsibility towards the team's future. His wisdom lies in grasping that leadership is more than just retaining a position; it's about ensuring the ongoing growth and success of the team. His confidence in the next generation mirrors his vision and dedication to constructing a more robust, resilient team, laying the groundwork for a promising future.

Not all leaders have the most important thing that our model requires to work. Pinnacle isn’t for everyone because to get results, leaders must be willing to change – if you aren’t able to take a hard look at yourself, dig deep (real deep) and get vulnerable, Pinnacle isn’t a right fit. We are here to build daring leaders and winning teams that makes immediate and lasting change. The kind of change that only comes if you are willing to get uncomfortable. Top leaders lean into discomfort because they know that is where real growth happens. They are transparent with their teams and honest with themselves; they admit when they make mistakes and constantly ask for feedback to understand where they are falling short. Can you?
