Great leaders cultivate a culture in which employee mistakes are accepted and in many cases embraced as a way to learn and improve. Creating this kind of culture will result in fewer mistakes in the long run.

There is a positive correlation between serving someone and love. The more we serve (fill buckets), the more we love (and that feels good; filling our own bucket). And the more we love, the more we want to serve. So the next time you are running on empty and need your own bucket filled – find someone else’s bucket and fill it.

You most likely won’t see happiness in a job description for a leader. However, it is a quality that makes a big difference in your ability to lead. Happy leaders are more resilient under pressure, they tend to be more focused and are usually more approachable. Understanding how to be more happy can make you a better leader.
