Rare is it that we alone deserve the credit for a job well done. More often than not, success and achievement is the result of a team effort -- the combined effort of a few, of several or many.



When you find yourself in the "spotlight," resist the temptation to enjoy it all yourself. Share the spotlight ... share the credit -- openly recognize the contribution of others. Seek them out. Thank them in person. Thank them openly. Show your genuine gratitude and appreciation.



ALWAYS share the credit .... It's an excellent personal branding attribute and it's a must-have leadership attribute.



What opportunity do you have this week to share the spotlight? Who else do you need to bring into the light with you?
