Learning as a leader is paramount for success. When you are open to learning and making mistakes, it shows your team that they can try new things too.

Consider everything in your business subject to change—except the core mission. That’s how you drive innovation without veering off course.

As you make your big strategies, leave a little white space. You need that margin if you want to take advantage of the opportunities that inevitably pop up.

Develop good ideas, even if you don’t know how they’ll apply yet. When the unexpected happens, you’ll have a reservoir of ideas to draw on.
