CLARITY KICKSTART: February 24, 2014
“The true measure of how you are doing as a leader is not the number of followers you have; it is the number of leaders you have developed around you.”
~ Laura Berman Fortgang
Coaching Tip for the Week:
Do you consider yourself a generous leader, openly sharing the best of yourself in an effort to help others grow?
Sometimes leaders mistakenly think they need to keep their best leadership cards close to the chest, for fear that in developing others, they themselves will be surpassed.
In truth, the leadership of others is a success measure of your leadership! When others in your sphere develop to the point of becoming successful leaders themselves, you know you’ve done your job well.
This week, invest some time determining the individual strengths of those with whom you work and lead. Talk with them about how you can support them in growing those strengths to peak performance. They’ve planted the seeds; now it’s up to you to help nurture their development so they can flourish.
How do you help develop others’ strengths? Share your thoughts below, on our Facebook page, or via Twitter!
