To know more, ask great questions. To achieve more, to get to the top of your career, you must have the courage to go after what you want, to ask for what you want.

You must have the energy to go after what you want. And you must have the faith to go after what you want.

The question is, ‘Do you know what you really want?’ If you know what you want, then go for it. What are you waiting for?

You must, according to Elena and Kim, ‘Look back. Learn from your past decisions.’

‘Look inward. Ensure you are physically and mentally ready to make clearheaded decisions.’

‘Operate with personal consistency.’

‘Take a mind-set of radical accountability.’

‘Get curious and ask questions.’

‘Invest in your relationship with your boss and her boss.’

‘Rock the boat- for the sake of the business results.’

‘Ask for what you want.’

‘Know where stars are needed.’

‘Overinvest in figuring out what you walked into. What you do not know will hurt you.’

Leadership starts with you. If you want to lead, ask yourself this question: ‘Why do I want to lead?’

‘Do I have what it takes to lead?’ If you do not have it, then don’t even go there!

‘As a leader, you are only as good as your last decision.’

‘You simply can’t become a great leader until you are a great communicator.’

‘Your job as leader is to take a 30,000 foot view of your organization and your industry, so that you can spot opportunities that will create real competitive advantage.’

‘Some of the biggest mistakes leaders make are the result of failing to ensure resources are adequate and strategies are feasible.’

‘When it comes to responsibilities, clarity breeds confidence, and confusion breeds disillusion.’

‘Walk your talk, be respectful, and earn the respect that will make your people want to follow you to the ends of the Earth.’

‘Prepare for contingencies ahead of time, so you won’t be blindsided by unexpected consequences of your actions.’

‘People won’t perform until the organization feels like a common unit that everyone has a vested interest in, and often it’s little things that help to make this happen.’

‘Everyone wants results, but the leaders who build a sense of utter and complete focus in their people are the ones who get it done.’

‘Leaders must learn to take all kinds of risks, not just those that involve business strategies.’
