I will not accept your guidance and critique unless you are supportive and nurturing. On the other hand, you need to be continually demanding.

What do I have to do to earn and deserve the key relationships that are going to get me where I want to go?

If your clients aren't actively telling their friends about you, maybe your work isn't as great as you think it is.

Whether or not your values are operational is crucially determined by whether or not there are consequences for noncompliance.

Your task as a leader is to help others to succeed, not to strive only for your own success. If I don't trust your motives, nothing else will matter -because my primary concern is your integrity.

Professional is not a label you give yourself - it's a description you hope others will apply to you.

Before a leader can be accepted, let alone succeed, autonomous professionals must agree to be influenced by that person.
