I have the smartest students in the world!
During a recent conversation, one of them shared what he believes are the most important phrases for great leaders:
WE did well.
THEY did great.
I failed.
Great leaders use WE when things have gone well, but not great.
Great leaders use THEY when things have gone very well.
Great leaders use I when things have NOT gone well.
Share the victories.
Own the failures.
That’s how you do it.
Be a great leader!
