Days 14: Leaders start with “we”…

Feedback from a previous unsuccessful job interview was that I said “we” too much, not taking credit for things ‘I’ achieved.  I was bruised by the negative feedback and disappointed not to get the job.

With the benefit of hindsight I am glad I wasn’t appointed, as I would have worked in a leadership group that didn’t value the power of the team.  I’d have been working with people who took glory for things they were accountable for, but hadn’t done themselves.

I love that in my new role ‘we’ is valued highly and collective successes of teams are recognised.
