I’ve just finished reading Tribal Leadership by Dave Logan, John King, and Halee Fischer-Wright, which has really challenged me to think about the words I’m using each day and the way I’m interacting with others. After listening more closely to myself this past week, I’ve realized it is so much easier to use “I”, “my”, and “me” than to speak in “we”’s.

If I want something accomplished, it’s tempting to assume that it will be accomplished best if I do it myself. I may have to bite my tongue to keep from using my own accomplishments as examples in a discussion… The list could go on and on.

Moving to the ideal of collaborative focus on the bigger goal is difficult, but is completely worth the shift. Now, how to create it in each area of my life?
