A Little Trust Goes a Long Way

I’m about to come back to the office after a glorious three weeks of rest, relaxation, and time with the family. I’ve been keeping in touch with the Prophiteers from time to time, but for the most part have been out of the picture.

For many of you leaders reading this, you’re probably wondering, “What has that Kiedinger guy gotten himself into?” Or “How can the office possibly continue to run that long without him?”

I know that upon my return tomorrow, all will be as it should be. I know this because I’ve gathered a great team of incredibly talented individuals to take the reins when I’m not around. By placing trust and in the hands of the Prophiteers every day while I am around and explaining systems of “this is how we do it here”, the office can continue to run smoothly when I’m gone.

You see, it’s these people who are not only there to back me up while I’m away, but they’re also the people who would continue to run the business should anything happen to me. What a great feeling to know that our clients are well supported and our company culture is carried out even when I’m absent.
