Seeking Approval

 

Seeking Approval

I touched on this a few weeks ago but here are some more thoughts on the problem with being focused on the approval of others … 

·         Edit yourself for approval and you become a minority shareholder in your own life.

·         Aim for accuracy, not approval.

·         It’s better to have the sting of honesty than the blindness of flattery.

·        You cannot be true to yourself while focused on the approval of others.

Standing Ovation

 

Do you crave recognition and approval from others? Many of us do, and I can relate. However, as leaders, our focus shouldn't be on seeking applause for ourselves. Instead, we should direct the recognition toward our team. Success and achievements are not ours alone to celebrate. Those celebrations are for our teams.

As a breakthrough leader, you should aim for the standing ovation to be for the people you lead.
