You must develop yourself to be successful

We are to get wisdom and understanding, yet we are not to lean on it apart from the Lord.

Self fulfillment thinks of how something serves me. Self development thinks of how something helps me to serve others. With self fulfillment, feeling good is the product. With self development, feeling good is the by-product.

What is your legacy? Are you intentional about the sort of influence you want to have on the world around you? Being aware of how you want to be remembered gives you a perspective on what is truly important. Leadership is influence, and relationships are the foundation of leadership. Nothing is more predictive of your legacy than the quality of people you surround yourself with.

Praise them for what they do well, both privately and publicly.

A sense of responsibility is the clearest indication of mature leadership.

It takes a leader to know a leader, grow a leader, and show a leader.
