Leadership is about influence and aligning people to goals while serving them empathetically and helping them develop to reach their full potential.

• Leadership develops through experience, just like learning to walk—you fall down, get up, and improve as long as you're paying attention
• The ability to influence is the essence of leadership, which can be wielded ethically or unethically
• Emotional resonance is more compelling than facts alone when trying to lead and influence others
• One-on-one meetings are crucial in leadership to connect with team members and understand their needs
• Everyone has influence whether they realize it or not, making everyone effectively a leader in some capacity
• Leadership skills are largely transferable between different fields and industries
• Good leaders acknowledge their mistakes openly and create environments where innovation can flourish
• Self-reflection is valuable for leadership growth but can become counterproductive if excessive
• Finding mentors who exemplify great leadership can accelerate your development as a leader
• Assessing the ethics of an organization's leadership culture is essential when deciding where to invest your career
