As leaders, we owe it to every employee to let them know where they stand in the organization.

Cash is king. Get every drop of cash you can get and hold onto it.

Set stretch goals. Don't ever settle for mediocrity. The key to stretch is to reach for more than you think is possible. Don't sell yourself short by thinking that you'll fail.
