Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.
Lead, don't drive. And give credit. Don't blame. If an officer on your team suggested something and it worked well, give them credit. If it doesn't work well, you take the blame because you made the decision.
Dwelling in the past prevents doing something in the present.
Push yourself to keep improving or you'll stay as close to the bottom as you are to the top
