Being Attentive

Dear Uncommon Leaders, 

Hope you all enjoyed a great weekend! Are you ready for the week ahead?

As always, be intentional and make it uncommon! 👊

This Week's Question:

Who around you is being left out?

This Week's Challenge: 

In every workplace, there are people who are well-connected and easily noticed — and there are others who tend to fade into the background. Maybe they’re quiet. Maybe they don’t initiate conversations. For whatever reason, they often go overlooked. And because they don’t demand attention, it’s easy to unintentionally ignore them.

But uncommon leaders don’t look away — they lean in.

They choose to see the unseen and to include the ones others miss... not out of obligation, but from a genuine desire to care for every member of the team. It’s a heart thing.

I’ll be honest — I struggle with this. I get busy. I get distracted... and if I’m not intentional, I’ll walk right past someone who needs to be seen.

We have to train ourselves to be attentive, to slow down, to notice,and when we do, something amazing happens — those quiet team members begin to open up. They feel included. They start to believe they belong.

Your challenge this week:

Look for someone who isn’t reaching out. Then you reach out. Include them. Encourage them. You might just gain a new friend in the process.

Let’s go be uncommon!

This Week's Quote to Ponder:
