climbing Mount Everest. But once you reach the top, you’re not done. There will always be another mountain to climb. Taking the time to weave the fabric of what it means to your firm will provide many dividends in return. Pretty soon, you will see others who emulate you and project the same principles and energy that you set forth. 3. Understands the importance of celebrating achievements and milestones, both big and small. We are busy people. We have a tremendous amount of work going on right now and for the foreseeable future. Having a moment to pause and reflect will allow you and your people to recognize and appreciate the hard work and dedication of the team. This will foster a positive and motivating work environment that encourages continued success. This culture of recognition and appreciation further enhances the sense of purpose within the company. A good steward uses these celebrations as opportunities to set new aspirations for the future. They inspire their team to reach even greater heights and continue their pursuit of excellence. By fostering a culture of celebration and recognition, they create an environment where everyone feels valued, motivated, and eager to contribute their best. There are many more things that go into being a good steward, but these three points provide a good baseline and pulse check to see how you and your firm are doing. Let this list be a motivator, not a deterrent. There is a heavy burden on owners these days and by giving that extra push to the finish line, the rewards and sense of accomplishment will be well worth it.
