Thought-full Thursday: Discovering Other’s Best
Every Thursday, we provide you with a thoughtful way to coach yourself – something all leaders need to do. So take five – enjoy the inspirational quotes and reflect on the questions that follow.
“When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves.” William Arthur Ward
Recall a time when you were open to finding what was good in someone:
- What did you discover and learn about that person?
- What did your discovery bring out in you?
Consider someone whom you feel is adversarial to you or your leadership.
- What is good in this person? How might you help them to foster their “good”?
- What is the first step you could take in helping them to foster their “good”?
- When will you begin?









I’d never heard the Ward quote before. It’s great.
Thanks David – I think so too.
