The Jaw-Dropping Truth About Leadership: You CAN'T make everything work perfectly—but you can make it work for your people! Taking inspo from Lan’s XtendOps Storytime, I wanted to share my own ✨ Let me take you back a few months. When I was asked to lead the XOStudios agency, I was both flattered and excited! Leading a team of incredibly talented creatives who work on everything from video production to graphic design and social media; XOStudios is a unique part of XtendOps, where we blend creativity with the commercial and recruitment needs of the business 🦄 But here’s the thing: as much as I was ready to operationalize processes and get things running smoothly, I quickly learned that leading people is where the real challenge and reward lies. Two things have learned during this time: 1️⃣ First, TALK TO YOUR PEOPLE. It sounds simple, but it’s crucial. I’ve realized how important it is to really listen to what my team has to say—their opinions, their concerns, their worries. Leadership isn’t just about managing tasks; it’s about understanding what drives each person and what they need to thrive. 1️⃣ Second, BE ACCOUNTABLE. If something doesn’t get done, it’s on me to figure out why, guide, resolve, and improve. I’ve worked in places where Sunday anxiety was real, and I’m determined to make sure my team never feels that way. If we fall short, I own it, and we work together to find a solution 🤝 These lessons have helped us not just operationalize our processes but also track performance in a way that keeps everyone motivated and happy. The takeaway? Leadership isn’t about making everything work perfectly; it’s about making things work for your people 💖 Hope this sparks some thoughts!

It's so true that leadership goes beyond just managing tasks; it's about fostering a supportive environment where each team member feels heard and valued. The emphasis on communication and accountability really resonates. It's refreshing to see leaders who prioritize their team's well-being and growth. #OwnIt
