It took a long time for me to understand what you were saying but now I think I get it.....I think it's why I like leading people so much and why I choose leadership roles at work. Everytime I see someone be successful, or I have a difficult conversation where someone walks away with a new understanding or makes a different choice, I feel great! I feel like I've accomplished something and helped someone achieve something that matters and it gives me a little boost. I just reread your post and I finally think I understand why. The work that I choose to do every day involves leading others and teaching them how to achieve their full potential and every time I succeed, so do they. Now I get it...I have to continue to leverage the work I do for the psychological benefits it can give me. And they are plentiful! Thank you so much for sharing.
