"Your most important assets aren’t your clients; its your loyal employees. If you take care of your employees, they will take care of your clients."​

"I quit!"
I had been promoted to my first management job for my performance as an individual contributor.
Within 6 months one of my best developers came to me with a resignation letter. We always had a great working relationship with her when I was a developer myself.
I was shocked.
I asked her - why ?
She said she feels unappreciated, not valued, not seeing the big picture and no prospects for career growth.
They had not sent me to management classes, but this was the best management lesson I ever received.
Prior to this resignation, my focus was on projects and problems, and helping those who needed help.
She never needed any help, and her projects were as on time as a Swiss watch.
In her case, I missed several boxes from the diagram above: involved, mentored, appreciated, valued, on a mission. For sure I valued and appreciated her, but I never took the time to show it.
After a long conversation, I convinced her that I am learning to be a leader, and that she just gave me a great lesson, and then I asked her to give me another chance. I was humble and appreciative.
She gave me another chance, and stayed on. We worked together for many more years.
In addition to the points to the diagram above I would add that employees stay when

1) we create opportunities for them, and give them opportunities to grow

2) take risks for them

3) treat their problems as our own

4) stand up for them

5) treat them fairly

6) stay honest with them

When you first started your career or entrepreneurship journey, you probably had the importance of developing a growth mindset and getting out of your comfort zone drilled into you. Well, these ideas don’t just apply to the process of getting your career or business off the ground, but also to your ongoing leadership journey.

Here are five tips to help you to be the best leader you can be — even in the most uncomfortable, challenging conditions.

1. Seek discomfort

A comfort zone is the state of mind in which we don’t face any risks or fear because we don’t need to solve any new problems. Humans have evolved to enjoy comfort to help keep us alive — if we’re constantly venturing into the unknown, there’s more chance of us facing life-threatening dangers.

But we don't live in the Stone Age anymore. Public humiliation and difficult board meetings might be unpleasant, but they won’t kill you.

Learning to seek discomfort is the obvious solution, but how exactly can we do it? Here are a few ideas:

Alter your daily routine in subtle ways. For instance, you can change the way you travel to work or the food you eat for lunch.
