Leadership tips
Know yourself and be clear on your values.
Pick a few important goals and stay focused on those. That is the most
you can do well.
Think first. Then act. Then let it go. Don’t sweat your decisions once
you’ve committed yourself to a course. Keeping looking ahead, preparing
for the next engagement.
Pick the best subordinates you can find, give them clear instructions,
then give them the freedom and the authority to do their jobs to the best
of their ability.
Inspire your team by identifying and celebrating the greatness and high
purpose in what they do. (If it’s not there, know and accept that it’s
your responsibility to find or create it for them.)
