Don't take credit
Bad leaders take credit for the good things and pin any blame for bad things to others.
Good leaders let the credit go to the team and team members. They only call attention to themselves when they take responsibility for a problem.
Don't call attention to yourself
Your task is to help your team and team members do good work. You should understand that the mission is important, not you.
As a leader, you’re just there to make things work better.

Change Leadership Styles
Sometimes a teammate needs a warm hug. Sometimes the team needs a visionary, a new style of coaching, someone to lead the way or even, on occasion, a kick in the bike shorts.
For that reason, great leaders choose their leadership style like a golfer chooses his or her club, with a calculated analysis of the matter at hand, the end goal and the best tool for the job.
