Five barriers to rise to leadership
1. Overemphasizing personal goals --> Shift your focus from yourself to others.
2. Protecting your public image --> Choose between image and impact.
3. Turning competitors into enemies --> Don't turn others into caricatures. You soon will become one.
4. Going it alone --> Fall in love - at least meet and have fun - with those who believe in you.
5. Waiting for permission. --> Just do it. Influence leads to power, not the other way around.
Quotations
"True leadership is about making other people better as a result of your presence - and making sure your impact endures in your absence."
