LeadershipAndSuccess Podcast with Coach BZ - Season 5 | Episode 41
āYou have to give the group what it needs ā not what you want to give.ā
āLeadership is about serving the mission and developing the people at the same time.ā
āTraining prepares you for today. Education prepares you for tomorrow. Mentorship prepares you for life.ā
āA strong team is built intentionally ā not accidentally.ā
āEmpowerment is not stepping back ā it is lifting others up.ā
āLegacy is not what you accomplished. Itās who you developed.ā
āLeaders multiply themselves by developing others.ā
āYou donāt supervise potential ā you cultivate it.ā
