I have a beautiful Koi pond out back that is stocked with incredible Koi and turtles. Often the Texas heat will be so powerful that the algae takes over and the water goes from clear to looking like a thick pea green soup. The importance of having a filter in place and running effectively to keep the clean water moving forward and not stagnant while it picks up and filters the excess algae is the key to keeping it beautiful and a joy to see. The pond itself didn't change, just the clearness of the water.
When leaders invest in and take care of themselves they are much more able to create clearness and an attractive environment from which they lead. Conversely, if you neglect yourself, you are more likely to have murkiness in your relationships and the results can dramatically be affected. You can save money and skip the trainings, not invest in the tools, not focus on your own growth just like it would be cheaper to not have to buy some fancy waterfall and filter feature.
You may be the same person, but how you are perceived and how effective you become can be hindered. We all have the opportunity to create both positive and negative experiences for ourselves and those around us. As leaders, let's realize that investing in ourselves needs to be at the top of our priority list. For people to be able to enjoy you and be brought forward you have to keep moving, don't get stagnant, and clear the negatives out. You are a beautiful vision that the world will enjoy seeing.
