Helping others around me. As Ive grown up and become (I guess) a little more successful, material things dont matter so much, but helping my employees grow and fulfill their potential is very satisfying.
As a gay man I wonder if theres some latent paternal forces coming through here, any straight people (bosses) with employees, do you also feel some sense of crossover with your children and employees? Just curious
- kbuchanan 8y agoI do, for sure. Feeling like you're helping your employees (and they're sending signals that they feel helped) definitely relates to the delight you get from watching your children grow.
- toasterlovin 8y agoYeah, I am straight and have the same instinct. There's nothing quite like helping another person blossom into their full self. I don't think this is uncommon, btw. I think this is basically coaching, but in a business setting. There is definitely some overlap with parenting, but there is also definitely some stuff that is unique to parenting.
