Anna, it's amazing when you take your eyes off yourself it truly is fulfilling watching those around succeed. By no means does it have to be a feeling of competition but a sense of great completion.

Great Post. I think the key is in the first point you make. The leader needs to allign his/her objectives with the team's objectives. If they are not linked/alligned then it really break the trust between the team and leader because the team could question the leader's reason for leading. The goal of a leader is to lift up the team, not the team lift the leader up.

All of your points allow the team, the individual and
others to share in the success everyone engenders! It's a win-win situation.
