Seeking
We get what we seek. We get what we look for. One may call it passion, vision, dream, persistence, resolve, tenacity, perseverance, grit, commitment… Simply put, we get what we seek.

Great leaders translate the organisational goals into team members’ personal goals. Inspire their team members to achieve them and make them feel what they do will benefit them and the organisation. Aligning individual, team and organisational goals – How does one get there? Exploration with a Coach could help.
