To reach your potential, you must empower others by giving away your ideas and authority. Your limitations in terms of ideas, expertise, and time can be overcome by empowering leaders. Your potential is not determined by what you do, but by the leaders you empower. While many leaders focus on finding the right strategy and getting things done, the best leaders focus on empowering other leaders. This can be achieved by delegating authority, rather than just tasks. By giving others the freedom to figure out the best way to achieve the desired outcome, you can maximize their potential and ultimately your own.
