How do you react when someone around you is honored, succeeds, or surpasses your own influence?

In this episode, Bill and Scott discuss how maturity is the ability to sincerely delight in the growth and influence of those around you. Bill and Scott share stories of people around them who affirmed them throughout their lives. Affirming another person’s potential can transform their life and even organizations. We hope this conversation encourages you to create environments where others can flourish, and leaders can transform their organizations into thriving communities where every individual is valued for their unique contribution. We also hope this encourages you to experience the joy of celebrating others and their success.
