From Leadership First

We often define professional success by titles or salary, but the most transformative gift you can receive isn’t found in a paycheck. It’s a manager who truly wants you to win.

When a leader invests in your potential—offering feedback as a bridge, not a barrier—the workplace shifts from a site of obligation to a space of growth. This selfless support builds the courage to lead with integrity.

To the managers who advocate for their team behind closed doors: you are changing lives. You don’t just manage workflows; you build futures.
