Have fun in your command. Don't always run at a breakneck pace. Take leave when you've earned it, spend time with your families.

Keep looking below surface appearances. Don't shrink from doing so just because you might not like what you find.

I have always admired the Linking Pin theory of management specialist Rensis Likert. It says that in every organization there are leaders who link the lower level to the upper level.

Don't be afraid to challenge the pros, even in their own backyard.

If you get the dirty end of the stick, sharpen it and turn it into a useful tool.
