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.

First, true leaders don’t lie (intentionally). The will admit when they have been wrong—no matter what.

Second, true leaders always keep their promises.

An honest man’s word is as good as his bond.

Miguel de Cervantes

Procrastinating is a good tactic, but one has to make a decision when one is due and not wait forever.
