1. A LEADER MUST BE ABLE TO TAKE CRITICISM. No person in a position of authority will be immune from it. One must learn to sort out the constructive, from which one can learn, and the malicious from which must ignore.

2. A LEADER MUST LEARN TO STAND ADVERSITY. Things will not always go well. Failures will happen. A good leader will bounce back.

3. A LEADER MUST BE ABLE TO DELEGATE AUTHORITY. He must be able to give up power and to trust those under them.

4. THE LEADER MUST MAKE DECISIONS. The person who cannot take a stand does not deserve to lead others.

5. THE LEADER MUST BE FREE FROM PREJUDICES. "Prejudice" someone once said, "is a luxury only little people can afford."

6. A LEADER MUST LEARN TO PRAISE OTHERS, TO SHARE THE CREDIT, AND TO GIVE CREDIT WHERE THE CREDIT IS DUE. If he tries to take  credit for everything, he will not lead. He will only frustrate those under them.

7. A TRUE LEADER WILL ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR MISTAKES.

8. A LEADER WILL NOT TRY TO AVOID RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE MISTAKES OF OTHERS.

9. A GOOD LEADER WILL GROW AND LEARN. Stagnation is not leadership.

10. A LEADER MUST BE ABLE TO CONCENTRATE UNDER DIFFICULT CONDITIONS. To keep the goal constantly in mind. To keep his head when all about them are losing theirs.
