As leaders we may have the right words to say and a great plan, but it may be the way we act that gets in the way of reaching our goals. Do we talk to people or talk down to them? Do we ask more of people than we are willing to give? Are we confident or arrogant? Do we exude compassion or selfishness?
We all need an “inner circle” of two or three trustworthy friends who will shoot straight with us and hold us accountable for our actions and attitudes.
“People may hear your words, but they feel your attitude.”
(John Maxwell)
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”
(Philippians 2:3-4)
