Few things build a person up like affirmation. According to Websterโs New World Dictionary, Third College Edition (Simon and Schuster, 1991), the word affirm comes from ad firmare, which means โto make firm.โ So when you affirm people, you make firm within them the things you see about them. Do that often enough, and the belief that solidifies within them will become stronger than the doubts they have about themselves.

John C. MaxwellIf you really want to be a successful leader, you must develop other leaders around you. You must establish a team.
John C. MaxwellLeaders should get out of their comfort zone but stay in their strength zone. When their work lies within their natural gifting and strengths, leaders experience the greatest return in productivity and contentment. Life is too short to live in the comfort zone, where growing and accomplishing and achieving your potential takes a back seat. I suggest you refocus if the comfort zone is your leadership priority.
