If all you see right now is bare ground, keep tending what you planted.
Two or three weeks ago, I planted asparagus.
Every few days, I went outside and looked.
Nothing.
Just dirt.
But today, this tiny asparagus spear finally pushed through the ground.
It reminded me of leadership.
Sometimes, you give your team everything they need—clarity, support, resources, encouragement, time—and it still feels like nothing is happening.
You wonder if the team will ever come together. If the trust is growing. If all of your effort matters.
But growth often happens beneath the surface long before we can see it.
Roots are forming. Trust is building. People are learning.
Then, one day, it shows.
The team begins to gel. Momentum builds. What looked like “nothing” was actually growth all along.
