“Lead by example and give your team someone to follow. They way you behave and what you stand for is very important.
He said leaders should not worry about the things they can’t control and be prepared to step out of their comfort zone.
“Understand that everyone needs recognition and encouragement to keep going. There is nothing worse than a stagnant environment.
