Sacrifice

Sacrifice. A very big word in the dictionary of a leader.

A leader, without a doubt has to sacrifice. How much and how often is up to you. It is directly proportional to how big you heart is. For some how big their pocket is. It is not often that your team realises how much sacrifices you have made to make a certain project fulfill its quota. How many personal endeavors you have to give up just to help a team member. But this is just all part and parcel of being a leader. So the question is how big is your heart?

Now if deep inside you, are you seeking for anything in return? Has this thought ever crossed your mind? "Now that I've helped you, what benefits do I get?" But I'm sorry if this has been an answered question, let me answer it for you. The answer is "nothing". If every leader leads with an expectation of being rewarded, no one will learn anything or get anywhere. If you want to give, keep this in mind. "Give without Expecting"

It not easy but definitely worth trying. The results are amazing.
