Do I help others succeed without expecting credit?
A reflection on selfless contribution.
“You can accomplish anything if you don’t care who gets the credit.” – Harry Truman

Personal Application
- Do one task anonymously to benefit your team.
- Publicly praise someone else for a joint win.
- Reflect on why recognition matters to you.
