I have seen people that become successful in the their business become selfish with the money they create and soon lose it all with the poor decisions they make. They end up focusing on themselves and not the people that have made them a success. You have to find people that allow others to be the expert, that make time to help out other team members, and share or give the credit when others succeed. Mother Teresa said: “One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody.”

In other words, managing up is a win-win situation.
