I find this 'I' thing interesting.

1. It Puts the Team Second: When given the opportunity to highlight accomplishments, isn’t it best for the organization if the leader is highlighting the group over the individual?

2. It Masks Efforts of Others: Even if the accomplishment, minor or large, is believed to be completely an individual achievement, chances are others were doing tasks that enabled the leader to focus on the accomplishment.

3. It Promotes Selfishness: If a leader is perceived as getting ahead by promoting themselves over the team, others will duplicate these tactics. The net result is an increasingly self-centered organization with decreasing teamwork.

4. It Decreases Morale: Narcissism Kills Morale. In essence though, when given the platform to promote the team, if a leader instead promotes themselves, they decrease the team’s morale.


In this speech notice when she uses 'We'
vs I

Most of the time its in the negative
