It is best to act with confidence, no matter how little right you have to it.
-Lillian Hellman
In his new book, Doing the Right Thing for Children: Eight Qualities of Leadership, Maurice Sykes recommends asking the following questions to improve the process of recognizing and drawing out the human potential of others:
- When in your professional or personal life has someone seen your potential? How did that feel? What was the result?
- How do you create opportunities for children and adults to learn and grow?
- When have you overlooked someone's potential because he or she was different from you? What happened?
- Next time you are frustrated with someone you supervise or a child you teach, stop and ask yourself, "What is this person's potential? What can I do to ensure that this person's potential is realized?"
