Leaders do not avoid, repress, or deny conflict, but rather see it as an opportunity

Effective leaders make a full commitment to be a learner, to keep increasing and nourishing their knowledge and wisdom.

Good leaders make people feel that they're at the very heart of things, not at the periphery.

Create a compelling vision, one that takes people to a new place, and then translate that vision into a reality.

Encourage reflective backtalk: Leaders know the importance of having someone in their lives who will unfailingly and fearlessly tell them the truth.

A leader is someone whose actions have the most profound consequences on other people's lives, for better or worse, sometime forever and ever.

Leaders learn by leading, and they learn bestby leading in the face of obstacles. As weather shapes mountains, problems shape leaders.
