“It is a curious thing…..

“The leaders who work most effectively……
…….. it seems to me, never say ‘I’. And that’s not because they have trained themselves not to say ‘I’. They don’t think ‘I’. They think ‘we’; they think ‘team’.

This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done.”
– Peter F. Drucker
