Only Secure Leaders Give Power to Others

Theodor Roosevelt said, the best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good man to do what he wants done, and self-restrict enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it.

Only secure leaders are willing to give themselves away.

Mark Twain once marked, the great things can happen when you don’t care who gets the credit. I believe the greatest things happen only when you give others the credit.

Empowerment is powerful, not only for the person being developed, but also for the mentor. Enlarging others makes you stronger, but to give power away to others you have to secure yourself.
