180: {Biz Tip Friday} How to Lead Someone on Your Team More Successful Than You

I’ve got a tricky question for you…

What do you do when somebody on your team becomes more successful than you?

Or, let’s say one of your downlines hits a rank that you've never hit before?

Do you feel threatened?  Or do you feel genuinely happy for them?

Unfortunately, I see that most leaders view this as a threat.  A downline out-ranking you creates a red light story that you’re not good enough as a leader or that you’re an impostor.

In this Biz Tip Friday, I’ll teach you how to shift your perspective to help you navigate this sensitive issue and lead your team from a space of LOVE.   

 

Episode Quotes

"A good leader allows people to have the space to flourish and grow."

"Being genuinely happy for someone else's success (even if it's greater than your own) demonstrates the true character of a leader."
