THINGS The Best Leaders Remember

1. Make daily time for deep reflection. No point in being strikingly busy around the wrong things.

2. Business is about people. Grow your team. Have shared experiences. Foster laughter and high spirit. A small group of devoted people can move mountains.

3. Honor wins. Really easy to go for the fast dollar and the easy opportunity in these uncertain times. Yet, the best leaders and business stay true to themselves. They get closer to their mission and values in hard times. They prefer to focus on what's the right thing to do versus what's the easy thing to do. And that makes them last long after the recession ends.

4. Do the unexpected. The marketplace rewards fresh value. Blaze a path that no one's blazed. Think thoughts no one's thought. Originality matters.
