Initially, we may aspire to leadership positions because of what we anticipate getting from the role, particularly the power to have others do things our way.
In reality, true leadership means serving others’ needs, not others serving us. Becoming an effective leader requires routinely finding ways to help individuals and teams succeed in pursuit of shared goals.
After all, leading means accomplishing something through the actions of others. As leaders, our challenge is to make sure those we lead have what they need to reach the destination and to overcome any obstacles they encounter along the way.
How much of your leadership is driven by what you give instead of what you get?
