How are you realizing the possibilities of the people you lead and influence and maximizing their potential? It is a great question to ask whether you lead a team at work, at home, or in your community. All of us have influence and are involved in relationships and connecting with others, so we must focus on possibilities in order to build productive connections with people.

I also talk about 3 A’s to help you focus on becoming a relentless architect of the possibilities of the people you lead and influence.
