Barbara Corcoran, the renowned American businesswoman, once said, “I’m the best employer I’ve ever met.” It sounds bold, but it makes perfect sense once you hear why.
Barbara explained that every time someone worked for her, she treated it as if she worked for them. She constantly asked her employees, “What can I do for you?” It wasn’t about control or hierarchy, it was about service. That mindset shaped her leadership and played a huge role in her success.
We often assume people work just to get paid. And yes, money matters. But we forget that employees make a choice too. They choose where they work. And when they choose to stay, they’re giving their employer a chance, a chance to lead them, inspire them, and earn their trust.
Running a business or building a team isn’t just about giving orders. It’s about showing up for your people and leading them toward a shared vision. Leadership is a partnership. While employees commit to performing, employers must commit to serving. When both sides bring their best, real progress happens.
In the end, success isn’t about hierarchy. It’s about alignment. It’s about whether everyone is showing up with purpose and moving together toward the future they believe in.
If this perspective resonated with you, feel free to share it with someone who leads or wants to lead.
