One quality that is persistent in leaders is they are willing to be held accountable. They are the last boots on the ground, the last man to go down with the ship, if there isn’t a last lifeboat. Good leaders surround themselves with people possessing the strengths that they know they do not have. They learn from those people. We need to surround ourselves with people who encourage and not diminish the task at hand; who are brutally honest. They are someone who does not give up but is always ready to reload, to reengage. Who is that for you? If you don’t have one – start the search!
