Managers do the right thing. Leaders do things right. Your assignment is to lead courageously. If you want to help your leader, you have to lead. Your leaders should already know that you are ready to lead at the next level. 

Are you going to represent yourself or your organization? Remember it’s not all about you. It’s really about how we become better leaders, add value, support and make a difference by honoring up.

When you do better, your team will get better. No shortcuts.
