Many leadership gurus consider Hans Finzel’s The Top Ten Mistakes Leaders Make a classic. Today’s quote is about leadership transition.
“To end well, we must not get too wrapped up in our own indispensability. Humility is the key to finishing well and passing the torch on to our successors. One of the keys to a successful leadership transition is to learn to hold our positions loosely. The tighter the grip, the more pride and the harder it becomes to let go at any stage. A loose grip is a humble grip, an attitude that knows our finitude and dispensability.”
