Lead By Learning To Follow
- Be a great follower first to become a great leader. Seek accountability, cover, and humility before demanding others follow you.
- Prioritize authority, alignment, and unity to move a team in one direction even amid mistakes.

- Servant leadership reframes ambition: fight to remove crowns, not put them on. When a team adopts servanthood as the highest title, possibilities multiply.
