Attitude Quote by Prakah Iyer
“Every organization sees itself as a full-to-the-brim cup when a leader arrives. Like sugar in a cup of milk, leaders must learn to mingle with the team and be willing to let their ego, become subservient to the needs of the team. Once the sugar dissolves in the milk, you want people to explain how sweet the milk is. Not how good the sugar was.”
