Have you ever considered that your organization doesn't care about you? While my assertion is likely true; there are reasons why. The company you work for needs to be more concerned with its survival than our personal well-being. It makes choices based on its survival, not yours. Not so with your professional network and current co-workers. The humans you work with have the capacity to care and we should find fresh ways to cherish our relationships because they can endure far after you move to a new role or a new organization. #community #teambuilding #servantleadership #leadership #friendship

There's not much more I can add to the thoughts below, except to underscore the importance of reciprocity in relationships. You don't need to be an expert to understand that treating others as you wish to be treated is a fundamental principle. Today, you might find yourself in a position to offer support. Tomorrow, you might be the one in need. Remember, the way you treat others can influence how they treat you. #behavior #people #leadership #thoughts #inspiration

In the journey of building a successful career, one thing stands out: we don’t do it alone. We thrive with the support, guidance, and advocacy of those around us. The truth is, our career paths intersect with countless individuals. Some become our greatest allies, empowering us to make a difference as a team, while others pose challenges or hinder our progress. But here's a simple yet profound principle: we should always choose the people actively involved in our careers. 🤝 Who are your allies? Take a moment to reflect. Identify those individuals who bring out the best in you, who provide perspective and balance on your leadership journey. Write down your allies and consider how each contributes to your growth and success. Let's commit to living life as allies, standing together and championing each other's success. After all, there's no reason to journey alone when we can thrive together. 💼✨ https://lnkd.in/gaMAE448 #CareerDevelopment #Leadership #Inclusivity #Allyship #SuccessMindset

Advice to my younger self: Don’t believe them. When they tell you: ❌ You aren’t leadership material ❌ You shouldn’t ask for more money; you already make more than enough ❌ You are the diversity hire, no one else wanted this job so here you are There will always be someone who can’t see your worth. Your genius. Your expertise. Just don’t let it be you. #leadership #inclusion #culture #MitaMallick

Be your most valuable & sharpest tool in your toolbox

Not everyone wants to bring their whole selves to work. Not everyone wants to feel like they belong. BUT ☑️ Everyone wants to be treated with respect. ☑️ Everyone wants to feel that what they do is valued and appreciated. ☑️ Everyone wants to know they have the same opportunity as anyone else to thrive. As a leader, how are you doing in creating that environment? Here's three questions to ask: ❓What do you want from your time in this team? ❓How can I help you to achieve your career goals? ❓What more can I do to support you? #leadership #inclusion #equity
