The really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.
Mark Twain said this and he really knew what he was talking about. My dad was 100%-the-genuine-article-great.
But he was great because he had this way of making everybody around him feel great too. Power Players make those around them feel like greatness is part of their modus operandi. When they spend time with great Power Players they too feel they have the capacity to be truly great.
For Power Players, greatness isn’t about showing off, but about bringing out the courage that makes each of us feel we too can reach for the great stuff. There are a rare few people we come in to contact with who bring out the best version of ourselves.
This is the version of ourselves we like the most and the one that makes us feel we can fulfill all the crazy dreams we carry around in our heads. If you want to be a really top Power Player, make others feel that they have the great gene too.
