People who add value to others do so intentionally. I say that because to add value, leaders must give of themselves, and that rarely occurs by accident.

Leaders who are kind of insecure or egocentric, they basically sabotage themselves.

Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them.

All good leaders are connectors. They relate well and make people feel confident about themselves and their leader.

The best leaders are readers of people. They have the intuitive ability to understand others by discerning how they feel and recognizing what they sense.

Dividers seek to make themselves look or feel better by making others feel worse. They damage relationships, fracture teams and organizations, and create havoc in people's lives.
