INGREDIENTS FOR GREAT LEADERSHIP
A good leader is ready for any situation. If your are in a leadership role, you will not only learn about people's personal skills and talents, you will learn almost every detail about their personal lives... What I would like to reveal to you is my own leadership model, which I call REVEAL. It is my sincere hope that this model will serve you well in your own pursuits.

Reflect
Making mistakes, as I have done many times, can make us better people, causing us to be more self-reflective. We have to make the time to reflect at the end of each day and summon the humility to admit our mistakes, the courage to correct them and then the fortitude to move forward and make the situation the best it can be.

Engage
Spending a lot of time getting to know your employees is critical to good leadership. It is easy to get wrapped up in the millions of details to be juggled and the profits we always have to keep an eye on. But we must never forget or neglect to find the time and make the effort to get to know our employees.

Values
I believe that good leaders are values-based people. Really good leaders are people of good character. Building personal character will benefit you, your employees and your family and friends. It sets an example to employees as to what you expect of them but also of the kind of people they can be.

Empower
There are many ways to empower employees. Regular recognition and affirmation of good work goes a long way. Offering new opportunities to them sends a clear signal that you believe in them. I've had employees who had a special gift or aptitude, and I would do whatever I could to help them achieve a dream.

Apply Yourself
Employees are not inspired by leaders who are never around or who have a poor work ethic. They have to be inspired by our work ethic, our commitment to our vision and our determination to see it all actualize. If employees don't see dedication and commitment in their leader, they will not be committed or dedicated.

Letting Go
I believe that the inability to surrender and let go can destroy a family, personal relationships, businesses and one's very self. Great leaders aren't always right, and sometimes they make mistakes. It takes greatness in a leader to admit to a mistake, rise above ego and be able to let go of the mistake. It's easy to say that you are letting something go, but it's never easy to do.
