Perceptions Matter: Everything you do will be interpreted by your team, so be mindful of your actions and behaviors.

Manage Expectations: No one will meet your high standards perfectly; learn to manage your expectations and delegate effectively.

Protect Your Time: Focus on high ROI tasks and protect your most valuable asset—your time.

Face Your Fears: The tasks you avoid out of fear are often the ones that will move the needle the most.

Hire Slowly, Fire Quickly: Take your time to hire the right people and don't hesitate to let go of those who are detrimental to your culture.

Adjust at the Top: The skills that got you to the top won't necessarily help you succeed there. Adapt and evolve.

Self-Awareness: Your emotional state impacts your team. Be responsible for managing it.

Get a Coach: Even top performers need a coach. An external perspective can help you grow.

Find a Community: It's lonely at the top; find a community for support and camaraderie.

Choose Happiness: You can be right or you can be happy, but you can't be both. Prioritize your happiness and team cohesion.
