“We humans crave community, which is a good thing considering that in today’s knowledge economy, no matter who you are or where you work, you have to work with – and through – people.”
Spark: How to Lead Yourself and Others to Greater Success,
Angie Morgan, Courtney Lynch, Sean Lynch
“Whether it’s cross-functional teams, colleagues from different geographies, or special projects groups, we’re constantly being paired with others and challenged to collaborate and produce great results. This can be easy, or it can be difficult, depending on the group you’re part of and its willingness to behave like a team. But Sparks understand that in order to get the most out of their teams, they need to serve – and to show others how to serve as well.
“Service-based leadership is a concept seldom taught and rarely talked about outside of the military, but it was integral to our success both during and after our time in uniform. At its core, service is selflessly acting on behalf of others to ensure their success. Service is the essence of an unselfish act. And when you act selflessly, you can be the Spark who transforms a group of individuals into a team.”
