Selfless leadership focuses on helping others rather than seeking attention, titles, or praise. A selfless leader puts aside their ego to remove obstacles, create chances, and empower those they support. This type of leadership is measured not by one’s authority, but by the growth, confidence, and success of others. The leader’s true legacy is found not in their own achievements, but in what their team accomplishes due to the supportive culture and vision they fostered -Principal Yeager
