Great Leaders Build More Leaders

Every founder who finds traction with their business faces an inevitable evolution in how they spend their time, from being the person who does everything (sales, tech support, emptying the garbage) to being primarily a people manager. And as the business grows larger and more complex, it becomes time to transition again to a next-level role that is trickier but more profound. Entrepreneur and author Jay Shetty recently put it this way: “The best leaders don’t create more followers, they create more leaders.” (He credited the insight to motivational author Roy T. Bennett.)
