It feels good to be recognized, highly regarded, and regaled. Who doesn’t want to be celebrated! Even people who don’t necessarily crave the spotlight like to be highlighted in some capacity for the right thing and when the time is right. But always being highly regarded and celebrated isn’t the most important aspect of leadership, or even a goal at all.
When you take on the responsibility and commitment to embrace and elevate in your leadership journey, you also accept that everything isn’t always about you or about you being personally celebrated.
