One of my favorite blogs BRAND AUTOPSY was musing over a classic and profound passage from Tom Peter's "Re:imagine!".
"A symphony conductor is usually a good musician, but seldom a world-class performer. The most effective university deans are often not the best professors. The ability to lead … to Engage Others and to Turn Them On … rarely coincides with being at the tip-top of the … Individual Performance Heap..."
It touches on one of my frustrations but reveals the key to it...I have to stop trying to be the top performer most of the time. I'm doing people a disservice by trying to be the best instead of empowering the best...turning them loose.
