A truly powerful leader will find that their followers believe successes are their own. They will feel empowered and confident in the work they are performing because the leader is there with guidance and support.
When in positions of leadership, it is easy to find ourselves acting as the “chief know-it-all,” instead of orchestrating our teams to help each other. Leadership is not about “follower-ship” or control, it starts with an alignment with the mission and values of the organization.
What is the common purpose of your actions and are they aligned with the organizations mission and values? It is important to revisit your actions and insure they are still aligned with the mission and values.
“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.”
– Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
