1. In large organizations, leaders should spend no more than four hours a day
   in their offices. The rest of the time, they should be out with their people, 
   talking to lower-level employees and getting their feedback on problem
   areas. They should be making short speeches and handing out awards. They
   should  be  travelling  widely  throughout their organizations.
2. The best leaders are those whose minds are never closed and who are eager
   to deal with new issues. Leaders should not change their minds too
   frequently after a major decision has been made, but if they never
   reconsider, they are beginning to show a degree of rigidity and inflexibility
   that creates problems for the organization.
3. Executives must take a disciplined approach to their schedules, their post, 
   their telephone calls, their travel schedules and their meetings. Staying busy
   and working long hours are not necessarily a measurement of leadership
   effectiveness.
4. Leaders may run efficient organizations, but they do not really serve the
   long-term interests of the institution unless they plan, set goals and provide
   strategic perception.
5. The leader must be willing to pass on skills, to share insights and
   experiences, and to work very closely with people to help them mature and
   be creative.
6. Leaders should let people know that life is not so important that you can’t
   sit back occasionally and be amused by what is happening. Laughter can be
   a great reliever of tension.
7. Reliability is something that leaders must have in order to provide stability
   and strength to organizations. Leaders must be willing to be flexible but
   consistency and coherence are important elements of large organizations.
8. Leaders must not only understand the major elements of their businesses
   but must also keep up with any changes.
9. Leaders should be able to look at themselves objectively and analyse where
   they have made mistakes and where they have disappointed people.
