Leadership is about cultivating fellowship, leading from beside and behind, and guiding your team towards a shared vision. To help you become a great leader, Phillip outlines five key strategies:

Get operational quickly: Perform a SWOT analysis to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in your organization. Focus on solving urgent problems first.

Take charge of the team: Build trust and reliability by listening, collaborating, and communicating effectively with your team members.

Align with stakeholders: Be collaborative and inclusive, ensuring that all stakeholders have a seat at the table and feel included in the decision-making process.
