By concentrating on a narrow vision managers overlook their teams success and hard work

I know this isn’t typically the platform for discussing subjects like this, but bear with me as I draw a parallel to a business context.

I have noticed many managers, leaders, and those who might one day become leaders engaging in bashing the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony on social media. Focusing on one aspect of the ceremony while overlooking the overall success can be a critical mistake.

Imagine your team comes up with a brilliant idea or project.

Everything is flawless in their opinion, and maybe even in the opinion of thousands or millions. But you don’t see it that way:

You focus on one perceived flaw (and I would underline the word perceived), and in doing so, you shoot down their enthusiasm and pride.

By concentrating on a narrow vision managers overlook their teams success and hard work.

Before commenting negatively on the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony, pause and consider all the efforts, brainstorming, creativity, and hard work that the organizing team put in.

Apply this same consideration to your team. Recognize their collective efforts and achievements, and you’ll see how they will shine and raise you along with them.
