Leadership and Hold on Loosely but don't let go...
Because if you cling too tightly, you're going to lose control!!!!
(They just don't make songs like that anymore...)
I have been trying my darndest to keep my daughter from growing up. This fall, she will be going into the 7th grade.
Up until now, she has not had a cellphone, and she has not had her ears pierced.
Daddy 2, Madison 0.
Until just recently that is.
Much to my chagrin, my daughter is now the proud owner of pierced ears AND a cellphone.

My point is this...
As leaders, you have employees that you are holding on to. They are high performers, and you do not want to lose them. You want to keep them all to yourself for as long as you work.
One of my mentors, Adrianna Tibaudo, once told me "You're only successful if you make those around you successful!"
She is right.
Develop your people, give them all they need, and then help them get where they want to go. Eventually, they will grow up and go on to bigger and better things.
That's what leaders do...we develop people!
After all, they can't stay 12 forever...
