“No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself, or to get all the credit for doing it.”

Andrew Carnegie


Lead: Delegate, Motivate, and Appreciate

LINK: My Non-profit Journey: Successes I’ve Achieved (Sofia Crisp)

“For myself, I can say that I am ‘coachable’.  I am not afraid to say I don’t know something.  I’m willing to find the person, or people, who do have the knowledge or expertise required.  You might call this an ‘I don’t know now’ mindset.  To put it simply, as a situation presents itself I learn from others I’ve sought out”.

As Executive Director and Founder of Housing Consultants Group, Crisp demonstrates this Carnegie quote.

  • For 12 years and counting Crisp has drawn on the talents of others to help her fulfill the emerging organization’s Mission.  As a ‘know-it-all’ Lone Ranger, her 501 (c)3 non-profit would likely now be just a memory.
  • The success of a great leader flows from staff synergies and collaborations.   Unappreciative micro-managers need not apply.
