Be the lighthouse, not the light

As a leader, your job is to shine the light on your team’s success. Even when you may have supported their efforts, the focus isn’t on you. You are the lighthouse, not the light. Give credit where it’s due. Amplify them, promote, reward and honor your team for the great work they’ve justly earned. But if your team falls short, you need to step up and take responsibility as a leader. You create the conditions for your team to do their best work, broadcast their success, and help them navigate anything that gets in the way of that success.
