You need to be exposed beyond the people that you lead or you forfeit your right to lead them
Remember, you don’t bring people on the team to make friends; you bring them on the team to make progress.
If you reward people because of who they are instead of what they've done, others will transform who they are to what you like to the detriment of what you need
What makes you likable to the people can destroy your organization if, at the expense of being liked, you won’t confront what needs to be confronted
You have to constantly ask yourself: "Do people get what I advertised when they get me or is my advertisement better than my reality?"
When you speak an expectation, you know what you meant but that doesn’t mean your follower(s) heard what you said
