Few people are successful unless a lot of people want them to be.

We generate great leaders, and we have the tendency to assume their accomplishments came about regardless of the assistance they received from others. The truth, however, is that no leader would be great without the support and help of teammates. As a leader, you will never get ahead until your people are behind you.

Some practical and easy principles toward developing your leadership skills:

> If it’s lonely at the top, you’re not doing something right
> The toughest person to lead is always yourself
> Defining moments define your leadership
> When you get kicked in the rear, you know you are out in front
> Never work a day in your life – developing your passion
