What does this have to do with Leadership?

I recommend reading the entire article, but consider these:

3. Don’t Spend Time with People Who Don’t Treat You Well

Who we spend our time with determines who we are. Surround yourself with people who will elevate your intellect, talent, and confidence. Shape your organization so that your team doesn’t have to spend their day with someone who treats them poorly (i.e. get rid of the jerks).

5. You can’t have everything; Focus On Doing a Few Things Really Well

Prioritize your energy and your time, and do the same for your team. They’ll appreciate it.

7. You Must Continue to Grow and Develop Yourself

Simply put, when the individual grows, the organization grows. If you lead others, then you also have the responsibility to become a better person. Not doing so is arguably unjust.

Incidentally, #2 is “Start Taking Care of Your Health Now, Not Later”…so, get out and do some PT.
