A leader defines results in term of meeting the needs of his constituents. A leader take ownership of the outcomes of his decisions and actions. A leader constantly strives to improve his understanding and ability. A leader works cooperatively with his constituents to reach agreed-upon objectives. A leader shows the way and set example by his own actions.
Planning is important, but actions are the source of success.
Advantage arises from creating favorable opportunities and then acting on them at the appropriate time. We put ourselves in a strategic position, but others must create the opportunity to win. We must be willing to use time. Move when it is profitable and stop when it is not. If a leader is timid, his resources can be usurped.
