Are You a Giver or Receiver?

Candle Lighting Another

Leaders must be generous, predisposed to give their resources to others. They believe a candle loses nothing when it lights another.

When Out of This World Leaders err, they err on the side of generosity. If they err in paying salaries, they err in paying too much. If they err in firing a staff member, they err on the side of excessive emotional support, severance package, and affirmation. No leader gets ahead by mimicking Ebenezer Scrooge.
