Takeaways 

Leadership should be focused on personal growth and development, rather than just performance evaluation tied to financial rewards. 

Understanding and meeting students’ basic needs is crucial for their success in education. 

Introverts and extroverts have different strengths and challenges, and it’s important to have a balance of both in leadership roles. 

Practicing gratitude and starting each day with a sense of gratitude can have a positive impact on one’s mindset and approach to life. 

Everyone deserves second chances and the opportunity for redemption. 

Comparison is the thief of joy, and it’s important to be kind to oneself and forgive mistakes.
