What a powerful quote!

“The narcissistic leader builds walls, not teams — for fear that trust might make them appear less powerful.” -Author Unknown

In every relationship — business, personal, or otherwise — it’s important to know your circle. Trust is vital, but blind trust can be dangerous.

Trust, but verify.

Be mindful of those who seek power rather than partnership, control rather than collaboration. Narcissistic leaders and individuals often mask manipulation as mentorship.

Protect your peace, your integrity, and your mission by surrounding yourself with those who lift others up, not those who build themselves up at your expense.
