Lift

You will never see it on a resume, but some people have the ability to lift the performance of others. They bring a positive energy to the room. They are excellent teachers. They add a sense of fun. They make things more interesting. They remind us of the best in ourselves.

It is hard to label and can come from any one of a number of things, but however you define it, it is a priceless attribute and if you can find people who have it, they will make a world of difference to your and your team’s level of engagement.

Most organizations typically don’t look for it but the next time that you are adding someone to your team, look for people who can lift.

Inspired by my wife Liliane who has a true gift for lifting those around her.
