This post on LinkedIn caught my eye and thought it would be excellent to share. It really resonated with my leadership ethos and how I work with companies to build outstanding organisations and cultures.
Great leaders aren’t know-it-alls who constantly try to outshine everyone. Instead, they admit when they’re wrong and genuinely want to learn from others.
According to Brian Scudamore, strong leaders don’t fight to have the first and last word. They listen to their teams, ask the right questions, and give everyone the chance to contribute. Instead of trying to do it all, find people who can do it better. Then, with the right people in place, you can take a step back to focus on your strengths – like leading your team and planning your company’s future.
At the end of the day, it’s not about being the most intelligent person in the room. It’s about building a team with the smartest people you can find and inspiring your team to believe in the impossible.
