There’s a touching story which Daniel Goleman related in his work “Emotional Intelligence”:

‘A scout leader was trying to lift a fallen tree from the path. His pack gathered around to watch him struggle. “Are you using all your strength?” one of the scouts asked. “Yes!” was the exhausted and exasperated response. “No. You’re not using all your strength,” the scout replied. “You haven’t asked us to help you.” ’

The path  to martyrdom has led many leaders astray. Being able to harness individual capabilities and build a high  performing team is proving to be one of the most valuable tools a leader can  develop.
