Responsiveness is extremely important in leadership and organizational health. It’s one of the non-negotiables for teams I lead. (I wrote about those non-negotiables HERE.) Being responsive shows that a leader cares for others, recognizes their value, and is disciplined enough to follow through.

I was in a zone and very focussed. (Cheryl’s always complimented me on being able to ignore everything around me 🙂 )
At one point I looked up, and Cheryl was crying…and so was this woman. Of course my first thought, as every man thinks when a woman cries, was “what did I do?” As I later learned, this woman has just returned from her father’s funeral. Cheryl, who lost her father over a year ago, was able to minister to this woman on the plane to San Francisco. They traded contact information and Cheryl made herself available after this brief encounter ended.
This week, Cheryl received this email:
