Many business owners and managers don’t fully understand the value in finding, training and developing leaders in their organizations. This is especially true of small businesses.

For the most part, I think business leaders are afraid that if their employees turn into successful leaders then they’ll lose them. That’s a valid fear, but should not be a fear at all.

People fail to realize that the better leaders those below them are, the better they (themselves) perform and the better they (the other leaders below them) make those above them look. I.e. if the team is great, the leader looks great; if the team sucks, then the leader looks bad. It’s to every company’s benefit to develop leaders within.
