Leadership Is All About Elevating People

Unfortunately, in many organizations, leaders commonly publicly highlight mistakes made by their team. This often leads to a culture of criticism in which individuals feel shamed or embarrassed, and blame is quickly assigned rather than solutions being sought. 

In contrast, the most effective leaders adopt a more constructive approach. Instead of pointing fingers and calling out errors, they focus on uplifting their team members. According to Jeremie Kubicek - Speaker/Best Selling Author, leaders who call people up challenge individuals to learn from their experiences and grow professionally. 

For example, Jeremie describes calling up and calling out as:

- “I see potential in you, and I know you’re capable of more.”

- “This isn’t about punishment—it’s about helping you step into your best.”

- “I believe in you, and I’m willing to walk with you as you improve.”

In contrast, calling out sounds like:

- “You messed up again—why can’t you get this right?”

- “If you don’t fix this, there will be consequences.”

- “You’re the problem here.”

Individuals elevate their performance to match the expectations that you establish for them. When you actively encourage them to strive for these higher standards, you create an environment of trust, instilling a sense of personal ownership and accountability within them. 

This supportive approach not only motivates people to achieve greater results but also strengthens their commitment to the goals and values of the team or organization. By calling upon their potential, you create a culture where everyone feels responsible for their contributions and is more likely to take initiative in their roles.
