And in 2024, resources focused on growth and self-improvement have never been more widely accessible. From podcasts to masterclasses and educational trainings, we can easily tap into processes and insights for growth. But let&#8217;s not overlook another valuable resource &#8211; the insights and perspectives from our own colleagues. In this month&#8217;s <em>Executive Take, <\/em>we asked four association professionals:<\/p>\r\n<p><em><strong>What is the best professional advice you have received?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n<p><b>&#8220;I once had a manager who told me that she would never hire anyone she couldn&#8217;t see herself eventually working for.<\/b>This has stayed with me for a long time, and I think it puts a different light on how we should see colleagues and team members. Approach them with humility as we can all learn from others and their skills, experiences, and insights no matter where they are on an organizational chart. Entrust team members with responsibilities and trust their abilities without having to prescribe every step.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Jay daughtry\" src=\"https:\/\/mypar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/Jay-daughtry.jpg\" alt=\"Jay daughtry\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" \/><\/p>\r\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jaysdaughtry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-feathr-click-track=\"true\" data-feathr-link-aids=\"[&quot;63090b04aad61eb28d5eeb9e&quot;]\"><strong>Jay Daughtry, M.Ed.<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\r\n<p><em>CQbd| Chief Communications Officer\/Owner<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>&#8220;<\/strong><strong>Years ago, someone told me you need to be 10 times better or different, and it&#8217;s easier to be different than 10 times better.<\/strong> Find a way to be different.
