#GrowingPainsOfTheEgo

I hired someone SMARTER than me today. And honestly? It was the most TERRIFYING moment of my career. Ten years ago I would have seen that resume and quietly archived it. Ten years ago I was a different leader, one who confused CONTROL with competence. Now? Now I collect brilliance like Pokemon. My team is smarter than me in seventeen different ways and I make SURE they know it, every single standup. People ask how I stay so humble. Simple. I hired my way into irrelevance and made THAT the strategy. Real leaders don't build followings. Real leaders build people who could fire them. This isn't management. This is a MINDSET. Some of you aren't ready for that conversation. Thoughts? #ServantLeadership #RadicalHumility #HiringUp #TalentMagnet #CeoEnergy #GrowingPainsOfTheEgo #WisdomWednesday
