Key Takeaways
Leadership is not about being in charge, leadership is about taking care of those in your charge.
Leaders are not responsible for the results, they’re responsible for the people who are responsible for the results.
A leader shouldn’t focus on how to get the most out of their employees, but rather how to create such an environment where they can work at their natural best.
If you do not have a trusting team, what you have is a group of people lying, hiding and faking because they don’t feel safe and vulnerable enough to ask for help or admit their mistakes in fear of humiliation, which in turn affects the company.
Leadership is a lifestyle, and building trusting teams is an ongoing practice rather than a fool-proof plan.
