Altruist
Consider the following definition of a “great leader” from former Vanguard CEO, Bill McNabb. He says, “A great leader sets the mission, communicates the mission, and holds people accountable for the mission.” Your mission is your reason for existence – it’s the purpose of the company and something for people to rally behind. If you expect your employees to follow you when things get hard, mission-driven leadership needs to be complimented by a strong team culture.
