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.)
