This discussion is so right on. I actually had to go on voice rest for 2 weeks due to a vocal chord issue which meant I had to shut my mouth and listen to others. What an eyeopening experience. Amazing what we can learn from others. The comment about putting our egos on the shelf and allowing others to shine is a win-win for all, the team as a whole, it's members, the recipiants, and the comany. Win-win! I am a leader of a team, but I am also part of a team and therefore have a supervisor so I get to see things from both sides. Being allowed to share my thoughts and ideas and then being validated does feel good and it does create positive morale. So I too must encourae my team by allowing them to shine and recognizing this.
