In the book

"Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others." A 747 has a captain. […] A firm of excellent managers will run beautifully and quietly toward the wrong horizon. And here is the turn that every new leader has to make: before you lead, your success is about growing yourself; the moment you lead, your success is about growing others. Leadership is a journey from execution to empowerment. […] Build that, and you've built something that creates value for everyone it touches — — the same principle Ziglar named, that you get what you want by helping enough other people get what they want, which is also the last of the rules I keep: everyone has dreams, so do what you can to help others reach theirs. Lead by growing others. Once you're the captain, your scoreboard is their development, not your own brilliance. Decide, then delegate with intent. Make the call; teach your people how to decide; hand them the intent and get out of the way. — Leadership & Business (Leadership/Business)
