1. Never repeat the same mistake twice:

Everyone makes mistakes but Great leaders are those wholearn from their mistakes.

Mistake is a natural way of stepping your steps towardsprogress and success but no good leader can afford tomake the same mistake twice. There are many leaderswho had a dairy of mistakes. One of which was our ownbeloved Bapu.

Reading and staying updated is the base of thefoundation on which leaders decision-making isplanned. Without staying updated a leaders decision isoutdated and is replaced by someone else who makesbetter efforts.

For example: a best leader gets applause but hedoesn’t know basic use of computers & mobiles, itwon’t be possible for him to survive in this era.

4. Communication abilities at its best:

“People praise innovators but people follow and getinfluenced by a communicator”

7. Don’t limit yourself, push your limits:
