The best leaders are those who make you smarter and better. From them you learn about things you never thought existed; you learn to do things you never thought possible; and you learn to accept things you never knew you could. They show you by their words and example: the first without the second is not nearly as impactful. They mentor and coach because learning takes time and practice. They pull you up rather than push you forward, engaging you fully. Think about the best boss you ever had: they’re usually the ones who you knew were smart but didn’t make you feel like you weren’t. They’re the ones you remember and are loyal to forever. Be that kind of leader today.
Marya Mannes (1904 – 1990): American author and critic
