A leader's lasting value is measured by succession.
You are the only person who can label what you do a failure. Failure is subjective.
Leaders never outgrow the need to change.
To remain a credible leader, I must always work first, hardest, and longest on changing myself. This is neither easy nor natural, but it is essential.
Being one step ahead makes you a leader Being fifty steps ahead could make you a martyr.
When you are full of pride on the inside, it makes you stiff, stubborn, and creates strife with others.
