To every leader who champions a growth mindset and wants to change their company’s culture to one of individual ownership and perpetual learning, we say this:
Gird your loins.
You’re in for some uncomfortable, brain-bending, messy work. You will make mistakes. In fact, you must make mistakes. Publicly. And if you want to see real, meaningful change, you’re going to have to lead with trust, because…
You can’t ask people to "think big" without allowing room for failure.
You can’t demand engagement without relinquishing authority.
You can’t create a learning culture without demonstrating your own vulnerability.
But you don’t have to do it alone. In fact, the sooner you embrace and accept just how humbling meaningful evolution can be — the faster you’ll find yourself in lockstep with your team, bravely building that culture, together.

It might feel way outside your comfort zone to nominate yourself for an OfficeNinjas All-Star Award. Be brave — you deserve YOUR chance to shine.
And tomorrow is the LAST DAY to throw your hat in the ring.
So, set aside some time today to tell us about how you’ve partnered with your team, your execs, heck, YOURSELF — to reach
for your organization’s goals.
Your manager and team are looking to you to make higher-value contributions, now more than ever.
But how do you seek and define your authentic style as a strategic partner, when everything is changing so fast?
Developing leadership presence in a support role means mastering skills in relationship building, influencing, and storytelling to break through the barriers.
