Listen to the people you work with. Remember, the further you are removed from the tasks on the ground, reality tends to pale and fade from your memory.

Achieve your goals and help those that work for you achieve theirs.

Demonstrate by being a role model. Lead by example. Show them how it’s done!

Encourage others to achieve and reach to a higher standard.

Responsive of the needs of your people and the organization.

Inspire. Lead and others will follow.
