1. Re-emphasize your core values, daily. True leaders embark on their path with the greatest of intentions. As they take their eye off of the values that got them to that position, they become more self-reliant. It’s then a matter of time before that have forgotten their value system altogether. Write your core values down. Then read them aloud and remind yourself of what you stand for each day. This will reinforce who you are and ensure you never fall away. 2. Realize it is never about you, it’s about everyone else. Whatever you receive is only the by-product of putting people first. People are your greatest resources, your greatest assets, and your greatest allies. You cannot do the work of a thousand if you feel you’re the only one who can do it right. Lose yourself in the development and service of your people and you will find an incredible aspect of leadership that leads to more opportunity for all. 3. Be content in where you are and what you have. In the fall I laid out a blog post showing how one can be and stay thankful as a leader. That does not mean you are never ambitious to grow and move further along, but the core character here is to get to a place in your life that if you never moved on, you would be happy right where you are, and lack nothing. Only then will you be guarded against the covetous pull of greed.
