Here are some of my favorite conclusions from the article:
- You don't know you can do something unless you try.
- Training and preparation are vital to leadership success.
- Take responsibility for your actions and don't be afraid to tell people you don't know something.
- Spend a significant amount of time with partner agencies.
- Take care of your people; they will take care of you.
- Stay in touch with people at all levels.
- Lead by example.
