6 天前This is so true. I have been in a leadership position from an early age of 15. I have seen this demonstrated many times. You might be old enough to remember the milkman that would deliver milk. It was in glass bottles and we would need to shake it up before we poured it. The reason is, the cream would always come to the top. Lifting others up will bring the cream to the top. They will be more willing to preform with more energy.
