One thing every leader should do: Be remarkably clear about objectives and be good about “closing doors” once decisions are made. It’s the only way to keep the team engaged and looking forward.

Advice about how to use AC: Get engaged. Interact. Apply. It’s not what you know, it’s what you do that matters.
