Dear Leslie:My manager gave me feedback during a review. She said I was shining my light too brightly.She wants me to focus on my own work more. I explained I shine my light on my teamto encourage them to keep learning. My manager told me to do it on my own time, and not company time. She doesn’t understand why I want my team to grow.Can you help me?Signed, Shining BrightlyDear Shining Brightly,You have discovered the difference between a boss and a leader.You are a leader, so keep shining your light on others. Best, LeslieThis reminds me of a Jack Welch’s quote:"Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others." p.s. What else makes a great leader? Let’s talk about it in the comments.--I am Leslie Nydick, The Conflict Strategist.“Dear Leslie” is a NEW monthly post.If you have a question, DM me and the response may appear in a future post.

I actually wish that people were this direct, that they would tell us "this is bothering me" but because they know that they SHOULD want us to do these things, I tend to find they only resent the action, silently. Have you found this Leslie? Any thoughts on how to circumvent that?

Sage advice. When you’re shining brightly, it doesn’t mean it’s dimming others’ lights. Great leaders use their lights to guide teammates until they’re shining themselves.

Oof. Shining Brightly may soon be shining at a company where his or her leadership is appreciated, not quashed. Great post Leslie.

I absolutely cannot understand why a manager could be so shortsighted as to tell their direct report not to encourage and celebrate the accomplishments of their own team. I’m a firm believer in taking all of the blame when things go wrong on my team, and giving all the credit to my team when things go well. And I do my best to create opportunities for everyone on our team to develop.

That's a perfect example of one of the differences between a boss and leader Leslie! A true leader will celebrate the growth opportunities that are being achieved and the positive engagement that is ensuing, whereas THAT boss will likely just be focused on the transactions that need to happen that day and whether they were completed on time!

Thanks for sharing that Leslie. A great leader makes you want to be a better...whatever you are! Professional, baker, babysitter or dog groomer. When your efforts are recognized and appreciated it make you want to be better! Shining brightly will also make your team want to follow and shine brighter in turn. 🌞
