Have the humility to learn from those around you.

Character creates consistency, and if your people know what they can expect from you, they will continue to look to you for leadership.

People will not follow a leader who does not have confidence in himself.

If you travel alone, you can probably go faster. But the journey will never be as rewarding, and you probably won't be able to go as far.

Those closest to me will determine the level of my success.

Speak the truth. Transparency breeds legitimacy.

Even if you've had a negative effect on others in the past, you can turn that around and make your impact a positive one.
