We’ve all seen it happen.
A superstar climbs her way
to the top
and then once she snags the leadership position,
she implodes,
taking company profitability with her.
So what are one of the signs
this superstar
might not be leadership material?
Justin Menke,
author of Better Under Pressure,
shares that
elevated narcissism and self-promotion
is incompatible to great leadership.
“Only an individual
who feels genuinely invigorated
by the growth, development,
and success of others
can become an effective leader
of an enterprise.
And it remains
the most common obstacle of success
for those trying to make that leap.”
What if that’s not you?
You have a couple of choices.
You can train yourself
to be happy for others
when they succeed.
OR you can maintain your superstar role
and leave the leading to others.
When you lead,
it isn’t about you and your success.
It is about your team’s success.
