Bottom line…check your motivations. When you ever so efficiently cross something off your to-do list has it moved you farther away from, or closer to, putting points on the board? Better yet, are the items on your to-do list even the right items to begin with?

And I agree 100% that leaders everywhere need to find ways to motivate people that go beyond money and benefits. All great leaders develop a sense of their blind-spots and weaknesses as they mature. I really believe that leaders need to tap into people’s desire for significance and purpose.

Sure it is…but it is much, much more difficult, rarely sustainable, and leaders who lack humility are always called into question with regard to motives and agendas. When you think of a true leader do you envision someone who displays a quiet confidence or a blatant arrogance? Is it possible to be a leader without being humble?

The truth of the matter is that few things have inspired and motivated me over the years like the quiet confidence and humility of great leaders.

When a leader consistently enables, empowers, motivates and serves his people, he truly subordinates the cause of building a great team that delivers great results. Alignment of each team member to goal/results leads to a flat structure where role of a leader is that of an enabler. Leader enables people to bring their best to work.
