Key Takeaways:

Be a subject matter expert.

Trying to be all things to all people makes you less successful, but focusing on what you’re good at or where your passion lies.

Be aware of your weaknesses.

It’s important to identify areas where you need improvement and then make a plan to overcome or get better.

Take a timeout.

Being in a leadership role can be stressful. It’s important to take time to do something that you like to do or that makes you feel better. Then come back with a refreshed mind.

Invest in yourself.

Young leaders need to get the experience, gain the knowledge, and work smart. Don’t think that success will come to you by sitting back and waiting for growth to happen.

Be selfish.

You can’t make others happy if you aren’t happy. Too many people get caught up in trying to take care of others.
