"TO HAVE" OR "TO BE" -- WHICH ARE YOU?

There are two conflicting mentalities in any organization: to have and to be.

People with a to have mentality are obsessed with what they can get out of their jobs: a bigger salary, and all that it can buy; promotions and status; recognition and fame.

People with a to be mentality concentrate on what they can give to the organization: their best efforts to help the team succeed.
