Daily Leadership Thought #60 – Nobody Is Ever Successful Alone

I’ve yet to meet a truly successful person who has achieved their success without the support of talented colleagues, a supportive family, and/or a circle of friends. Sure, success can be one-dimensional and focused solely on money or fame, but most of these individuals end up lonely and unhappy in other areas of their lives (so I wouldn’t call their experience a true success). This does not imply that everyone begins with equal opportunities. Some people must overcome significant personal obstacles and handicaps to achieve their goals, but they do it. True leaders and winners continually work on building healthier, more constructive relationships in their lives. They understand that no one ever gets to the top alone. If we cannot share our success with others, what is its true value? Cherish and be thankful for your family and friends this Thanksgiving! Send your colleagues off on the holiday with some kind words or other expressions of gratitude. If something isn’t right in any of these areas, commit to taking the steps necessary to make it better.

Ultimately, the quality of your relationships is what matters most in life.
