By Cory

What’s most important to your leadership: adding value to yourself or adding value to others?Leadership is fuelled by personal values and the ability to create values in others. The important thing about leadership is your character and the values that guide your life. Unfortunately, the corporate culture is hardwired to serve self first and subordinates eventually.Many leaders have been made to confuse leadership with the crave for success. And they swallowed several misguided philosophies about leadership. They believe leadership means:
  • To be in charge.
  • To make the organization run smoothly.
  • To make money for shareholders.
  • To build a great company.
  • To make us better than the competition, and win.
