It is easy to get caught up in your own world. However, leaders need to elevate their thinking to incorporate the bigger picture. The organization’s needs must take priority over any one person’s agenda. You may sometimes have to sacrifice what you want or desire as an individual for the greater good.
The most successful business owners I know are focused on building great companies and/or fulfilling an important mission instead of just making money. Financial success should be the end result not the driving force. This becomes especially apparent after the business experiences some level of economic success. Instead of becoming greedy and short term focused these leaders often double down and invest surplus resources in continuing to grow the business and its people. They genuinely appreciate the importance and responsibility of having a positive impact on others and adding real value to their marketplace.
