Maybe not “the” things leaders do, but certainly some very good ones.

I like them all; these stand out to me:

Stay disciplined and detailed.
“Good leaders are never afraid to intervene personally on things that are important.

Leaders learn constantly and also have to learn how to teach.
“A leader’s primary role is to teach. People who work with you don’t have to agree with you, but they have to feel you’re willing to share what you’ve learned.”

Stay true to your own style.
“Leadership is an intense journey into yourself. You can use your own style to get anything done. It’s about being self-aware. Every morning, I look in the mirror and say, ‘I could have done three things better yesterday.’ “
