Lessons:
- Always be yourself. Be authentic. Who you are speaks louder than what you say. Stop hating yourself for everything you are not; and start celebrating everything that you already are.
- Build and invest in the relationships. It's the foundation of building. Phil Wilson said: Power creates distance, but leaders bridge the gap.
- Be real about your expectations. Set them high but be real. Expectations are dangerous when they are both too high and unformed. Lionel Shriver
- Be flexible to the situation. Leaders honor their core values, but they are flexible on how they execute them. Colin Powell.
- Always have a grateful attitude. Appreciation goes a long way to not only creating a good environment but also to affirm people’s contribution to the vision. A joyful spirit is the evidence of a grateful heart.
