Chris R Stricklin's insight:
A true leader thinks strategically and develops their team for the long-term success of an organization. If you value their time, they will do the same for you. If you exhibit respect for each of them, then they will feel more respect for you as person and leader, not just as the boss. The true competitive advantage in any industry is found in the team, not the product…people, not things…talent, not trademarks. Teamwork is about shared purpose, determined success and vested interest.
