As a leader, you can balance the need to live in strategy while also comfortably swooping down into the trenches and executing.  You’re passionate about developing your protege so that when you earn millions and retire to your dream life, your successor is ready to take the reins and continue driving successful partnerships.  You listen, collaborate, take note of alternate viewpoints, and implement the best solutions.
