1. A great leader is dispensable when it comes to their tasks and actions.
They are indispensable when it comes to their thought and vision.
2. Every word you speak will be analysed.
Every action of yours will be reproduced.
Every standard you allow will set a new standard.
Think of how you speak, how you act, and the standards you accept.
3. Your emotional and mental state as a leader has a direct impact on your team.
People see when you are anxious or happy. They know when you are depressed or ecstatic.
4. Be human. No one was born knowing how to be a leader.
5. As a leader, you will most likely suffer from what I call “the curse of intelligence” – the desire to solve every problem thrown at you.
Great leaders don’t solve problems.
They ask the right questions.
Every day, I remind myself that leadership is a privilege.
Through this role, someone’s definition of a leader can be shaped up.
