Personal Story

One company I was previously at had all of the heads of their portfolio firms take a leadership personality assessment, and I was alone to score higher on "desire to help teammates shine" than others yet slightly lower on "personal competitiveness." Instead of fostering a gladiatorial culture where sales people competed against each other, I encouraged them hit metrics and support each other and help them uncover blockers.

Self Assessment

9 - I would prefer that my team win a baseball game than for me to hit three home runs and lose. Helping others shine in work and feeling is infectious has a multiplicative positive effect for any team, partnership, and family.
