1. They Don’t Provide Security for Others.
There’s an old saying: “You cannot give what you do not have.”
2. They Take More from People than They Give.
Insecure people are on a continual quest for validation, acknowledgement, and love.
3. They Continually Limit Their Best People.
Show me an insecure leader, and I’ll show you someone who cannot genuinely celebrate his people’s victories.
4. They Continually Limit Their Organization.
When followers are undermined and receive no recognition, they become discouraged and eventually stop performing at their potential.
From "Go For Gold" by John Maxwell
