The moment you declare yourself a great leader is the moment you prove you’re not.

Leadership is not a task you can check off on a to-do list. It's a responsibility that's never finished.

Great leaders don't manage by walking around. They manage by doing: spending some time each month doing the actual work of their teams.
It helps them understand what's going on and signals that they're not above it.
