Leaders often enjoy finding people that look and act exactly like them. Too many organizations fail to achieve their full potential because the leader has attracted people to the organization that lead like the leader leads. Growing businesses understand that to grow their business; they must focus on developing their team. Every person is essential because each person has a different set of skills, abilities, and gifts. This principle encourages leaders to recognize that every person on their team has gifts and abilities and to understand that organizations function better when the gifts and skills of their people are released to be used to their full potential.
