Push and Support

Did you give someone space to try and a hand when needed?

We don’t “lead” – we help people move farther than they thought possible.

  • Nudge when they wander off course.
  • Celebrate the mess‑ups that teach.
  • Keep the moving forward.

What It Means At Corporate Tools

Push and Support means creating a space where every teammate can stretch, stumble, and rise again without the weight of a top‑down hierarchy. Instead of telling someone exactly what to do, we give them the right amount of pressure to stretch their abilities and the safety net to catch them when they fall.

When a colleague tries a new approach and it flops, we point out the useful parts, suggest a pivot, and keep the energy high. When they hit a breakthrough, we amplify the win and share the credit. The result is a team that constantly upgrades its own skill set while feeling valued and empowered.

The core of this principle is two‑fold: a push that challenges people to go beyond their comfort zone, and a support that provides guidance, resources, and encouragement when the path gets rough. Together they turn potential into performance.

How This Shows Up In Your Day

You are living this when

  • You give a teammate a clear challenge and then step back, trusting them to solve it.
  • You notice a mistake, point it out kindly, and suggest a better way without blaming.
  • You celebrate learning moments even when the outcome isn’t perfect.
  • You ask, “What can I do to help you move forward?” instead of issuing orders.

You are not living this when

  • You micromanage every detail, stifling autonomy.
  • You ignore a colleague’s struggle, assuming they’ll figure it out alone.
  • You criticize failures publicly without offering a path forward.
  • You rely on your title to command rather than to inspire.
Push creates stretch; support creates safety. When both are present, people grow fast and stay motivated.
