Dear members of Ana's Time Club,
In our journey through the world of work, we often encounter a variety of individuals, each with their own dreams, aspirations, and roles within a team. Recently, I had a revealing conversation with a member of my team that made me reflect on the diversity of perspectives and goals that coexist in any work environment.
We must have analytical individuals, others who provide structure to projects, others who excel in relationship-building to achieve results, or others who can complete tasks amidst the stress of deadlines. #TeamDiversityStrengths 馃殌
Some people do not wish to take on leadership roles or lead large teams; they prefer to focus on their daily tasks without the additional pressure of managing others or dealing with high levels of stress. And that's okay. Their contribution is equally valuable, and it is crucial to recognize and appreciate the diversity of roles and aspirations within a team.
On the other hand, there are also those who aspire to grow professionally, climbing the ranks within the organization and reaching leadership positions. It is essential to support the development of these individuals, providing them with the tools and opportunities necessary to strengthen their leadership and management skills.
However, what happens if everyone on the team aspires to be a leader? Just like in a soccer team, where each player has a specific role to contribute to the team's success, it is necessary to have a balanced combination of skills and aspirations within a work team. Some may excel in generating ideas, others in implementation, and others in maintaining cohesion and teamwork.
As leaders, it is our responsibility to know our team, understand their dreams, skills, and behaviors, and ensure that each member feels valued and satisfied with their contribution. Creating balanced teams, where the individual strengths of each member are utilized, is essential to achieving the best results.

Remember that leadership is not limited to leadership positions; anyone can be a leader. It is about promoting change, having clarity in goals, and working collaboratively with others to achieve common goals. We all have the potential to be leaders and catalysts for change, regardless of our position in the organizational hierarchy.
