To help others develop, start with yourself! When the boss acts like a little god and tells everyone else they need to improve, that behavior can be copied at every level of management. Every level then points out how the level below it needs to change. The end result: No one gets much better.

Marshall GoldsmithWhen we do what we have to do we are compliant. When we do what we choose to do we are committed.
Marshall GoldsmithThe great Western disease is, โI'll be happy when... When I get the money. When I get a BMW. When I get this job. When I get the relationship,โ Well, the reality is, you never get to when. The only way to find happiness is to understand that happiness is not out there. It's in here. And happiness is not next week. It's now.
