In your article you present an aspect of leadership that not many –primarily those who hide behind their title/position- care to admit is a significant part of being successful at leading others, creating a “want to help” versus a need to help mentality. In my experience, I have found that those new to leadership roles tend to approach their direct reports from the “you need to help me” mentality. There is a rare few that can transition seamlessly from their “all about me” –employee- perspective to the “it’s all about them” –leaders- duty. Leaders in any industry must ask themselves when preparing a message soliciting support; does my message create champions or alienate them? Good read, thank you for sharing.

I've never quite thought about leadership in this way, but have experienced it, both on the receiving and giving ends. I wonder how many people have thought of this when they aren't getting the help they need? Thanks for your insights... Leiza Susanne…Great article!

We have more ways to connect than ever - cell, email, im, twitter, facebook - yet we are more disconnected than ever. Enjoyed your article! David Susanne
