What we really have to do is go through a transition, some people make it quickly, some people make it slowly, and unfortunately some people will never make that transition at all.

Leadership is a skill like any other, it's a practicable learnable skill. And it's something that you have to work on. It's like a muscle, if you practice it all the days, you will be good at it, you'll become a strong leader. If you stop practicing you'll become a weak leader.
