Good Leaders Must Be Good Servants
Engaging and developing others involves having the right people in the right roles, fully engaged to achieve the future. Identify a person's strengths and find a role that leverages those strengths. I agree with Peter Drucker who said "the leader's objective is to leverage the strengths of people and make their weaknesses become irrelevant." We have many tools available to help develop people—including classes, cross training, special assignments and mentoring.
