"Frank's skill in asking the right questions is un-mistakable, and is at the core of his leadership philosophy.

The power of these questions cannot be underestimated, especially if you want to lead and not manage."

34. Get a mentor

Having a mentor is important for many reasons. She has been where you are going; she has faced the same challenges, made the same choices. She will be your anchor in the storm. And she will do what followers don’t do: Challenging you and help you grow in the way you help your followers grow.

When was the last time someone challenged you with their questions?

Remember: Others have been in your shoes before.

Get a Mentor

33. Remember Your Roots

There are a great many stories about those that have forgotten where they came from. How they become lonely and unsuccessful… For the leader it is important to remember that they started out like everyone else.

Where did you come from?

Have you forgotten?

Remember: We are all born equal: Naked and hungry for love, attention and milk.
