Is it About You or the Team?

So, tell the truth. As a leader are you working in an organization that is about you or the team? I have worked in both types of organizations and when the leader is focused on the number one goal of helping others succeed, the organization is healthier and more likely to achieve its goals and objectives.

The best leaders know that their role is not about them and what they accomplish for the betterment of others is always the most rewarding. Once you recognize your best work as a leader is helping your team move to the next level is when you know your leadership skills are put to the best use.

The battle to control your ego starts with a question I ask myself daily when I wake up. "Who are you serving today and what will be accomplish for the benefit of others?" Yep, when you stop using "I" statements you are on the right course for the leadership work at hand.
