Mutuality

From Minute Motivators for Leaders by Stan Toler:

"You can get everything you want if you help enough others get what they want."
   - Zig Ziglar

'Success is not a zero-sum enterprise. Good leaders know that their achievement doesn't require someone else's failure. There's more than enough success to go around.

The most effective leaders are those who believe their success can help others reach their goals also. They believe in the power of win-win.

Leaders ask, "What can I do for you?"

Service is an investment that pays in more than monetary ways. It pays in character development. It pays in influence and in relationships. Giving is a short-term investment that pays long-term dividends.

Leaders ask, "What can we do together?"

Teamwork is a win-win situation.

Leaders ask, "How can this benefit both of us?"'

Winners believe in win-win.
