I am re-reading The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey.

In that book the author spends time explaining Habit #4 which is called Win-Win. He believes that leaders possess 4 character traits when they establish this habit. One of those four is having an “ABUNDANCE mentality”.

The ABUNDANCE state of mind is often in direct correlation with someone feeling secure and satisfaction with their self worth. Leaders possessing this characteristic believe there is enough for everyone. ABUNDANCE also means sharing recognition, credit, power, and profits with others.

Leaders that exhibit ABUNDANCE often elevate the teams they coach to higher levels because they excel in communication and inclusion.

The opposite of ABUNDANCE is scarcity. If you feel like you operate from this leadership perspective and want to change the solution might to be seek a mentor. A mentor who prescribe the Win-Win leadership habit.
