Leave behind your legacy. Find a drive to make space for other minds within your organization-avoid formal education limitations on career progression. Leading is like directing an orchestra—help all the brilliance and talent shine together under your guidance. Stretch opportunities and development opportunities can be just as desirable as financial opportunities. It doesn't have to be lonely at the top—be vulnerable enough to ask for help. Realize there is brilliance all around you→ break through that isolation if it exists in your organization.
