Many leaders in this time, especially new ones, fall into the trap of thinking that they have to be the ones doing everything, "running the show," dispensing good advice right and left. Because after all, why else are you in charge, right? Wrong. The best leaders are not those who try to do it themselves, but those who can guide, inspire, and motivate others to do their best, and even bring out things in others that they didn't think they were capable of.

A good leader shines. A great leader makes other people shine.
