One of my core values is Improvement—to get better over time, so using my most powerful leadership tool, I’m constantly looking for ways to improve as a leader.
Last year, I read Dr. Henry Cloud’s 9 Things a Leader Must Do: How to Go to the Next Level—And Take Others With You. In the book, Cloud explores what good leaders have in common.

- Realization number one: The answer to “Who is this person?” was not a person at all. It was a way of behaving.
- Realization number two: People who found what they were looking for in life seemed to do a certain set of things in common.
- Realization number three: If you were not born with these patterns for leadership in place, you can learn them.
