We become leaders the day we decide to help people grow, not numbers
Simon Sinek
I have been emphasising with the aspiring leaders I work with lately, that leadership is not all about us, but what we do with and for the people we lead.
Simon Sinek’s recent Facebook post absolutely resonates with this.
We all want to be good at what we do. We all want to be the best we can be. But if we want to maximise our leadership influence, we must understand that it’s not all about us.
True leaders understand that leadership is not about them, but about those they serve. It is not about exalting themselves, but about lifting others up

Strive to be the best you can be, but realise that a leader’s most important responsibility is to lift and inspire the performance of others.I have been challenging leaders to ask this simple question of their people. “What can I do to help you do your job?” Are you game enough to ask it?
