This is the third in a series of three articles dedicated to the wonderful men and women who likely have not read the latest bestseller on leadership but still get up every morning committed to making a real difference in the work, careers, and lives of others. This series will explore the universal, timeless principles that determine how great leaders think, act, and interact.

The project review, the staff meeting, the development planning session, the information request, even the hallway conversation—all present the possibility of increasing alignment, engagement, and commitment.
