Good morning,

Well said. In Drive, Daniel H. Pink discusses three traits that motivate employees. They are purpose, autonomy, and mastery (Pink. 2009). Upon experience and reflection, I see that while we may start with operating from one of these traits; this often leads to connecting us to the other two.

I think stepping back is good. Not stepping away though. Our people may need our support. It is our responsibility, as managers and especially aspiring leaders, to support and/or back them up.

This is why balance and knowing one's people are imperative to leadership (in my opinion).

As always, thanks for your time.
