Three components of strong leadership

Leaders run a high risk of burnout as they move from one real-world challenge to the next.

Stay strong by realizing that you need to continually learn and grow in three key areas:

1. Mindfulness. Stay alert for new ideas, from other people and yourself. One good way: Keep a journal.
   
   
2. Hope. Keep envisioning—and talking about—a brighter future.
   
   
3. Compassion. Cultivate your ability to uncover people’s personal goals and visions, in addition to their ideas.
