Leaders build morale and create community.  They keep the mood positive.  They compliment and praise individual team efforts.  They recognize outstanding achievement because they know that propelling one of the team members forward will push others to achieve more.  Success is one part of leadership and nine parts partnership.  When there are promotions within your Ambit family send them congratulatory emails, recognize them at meetings, clap your hands and give the high-fives.

When a good leader is credited for efficiency, he or she will accept accolades only on behalf of others. Praising the team for its efforts simply motivates partners to greater efficiency.  Great leaders create an atmosphere in which others can succeed.  Then they share the celebration of victory with those who made it possible.

Stretch out your hands as far as you can.  What is your reach, sixty inches? Maybe seventy-two?  Now imagine joining hands with another individual, then another and another.  You have extended your reach by at least three times.  That’s the power of partnership.
