A highly credible leader under-promises and over-delivers.

Have the humility to learn from those around you.

Leadership development is a lifetime journey, not a quick trip.

There is no success without a successor.

Successful people...focus on the rewards of success: learning from their mistakes and thinking about how they can improve themselves and their situations.

If you can learn to understand people how they think, what they feel, what inspires them, how they're likely to act and react in a given situation- then you can motivate and influence them in a positive way.

In most cases, those who want power probably shouldn't have it, those who enjoy it probably do so for the wrong reasons, and those who want most to hold on to it don't understand that it's only temporary.
