‘Don’t treat others the way you want to be treated. Treat others the way they want to be treated.’
‘Set goals that are both realistic and just out of reach– belief will help you cross the divide.’
‘Begin with fulfilling the current role. Do what your team needs you to do, not what you want to do, what you feel like doing, or what is convenient for you.’
