From the Editor's Desk Earlier in our careers, speed and energy are important components. But there comes a point where you actually can't speed up any more. You need to rely less on what you can personally achieve (your "ego-drive") and more on what you can achieve with others (your "co-drive"). Instead of being energetic, you need to become energizing. Instead of setting the pace, you need to teach others to self-propel. Instead of delegating, you need to allow people to congregate. As you shift from proving yourself to helping others perform, your key question is not "How can I push harder?" but "Where can I let go?" |
