To do anything well takes practice — including being a good leader.

When I was younger I thought being the boss was about getting your way and making big bucks. However, over time, I have come to realize that true leaders eat last (shout out to Simon Sinek).

What “true leaders eat last” means is that great leaders sacrifice their own comfort — even their own survival — for the good of those in their care.?

What “true leaders eat last” means is the best environments foster trust and cooperation, because their leaders are able to separate the security inside the team from the challenges outside.

I find it humbling that people trust me to lead.

I will always try my best. But I'm not perfect.

I think, the minute that you start telling yourself that you're a great leader, and you're this or you're that, it’s the minute you stop growing. Or evolving.

There’s always more to learn. There's always room for improvement. Especially in leadership.

Every day I go into work, I make a point of being empathetic. I make a point of being a good listener. I make a point of leading by example. I make a point of developing unity around a shared vision.

And you know what they say:

Practice makes perfect.
